An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
Speakeasy has pivoted since we last covered the company in July 2023.
Today, the company is leveraging its historic expertise in managing APIs for developers to deliver an AI control plane that helps developers manage AI interactions across their company.
Where Speakeasy stands out is its MCP server management capabilities. It manages and controls corporate data sources as well as the MCP servers that expose those data sources to various LLM and other AI tools corporate employees use.
Using Speakeasy, companies can automatically embed approved data sources into employees’ LLMs of choice, leveraging either internally configured or corporate access control to provide permission-based access to each data source.
