Fun fact, I named it "Stainless" after Stainless Steel pipes, likening ourselves to a high-end plumbing supply shop. If you look at the earliest versions of stainlessapi.com on archive.org, you'll see our original motto was "Quality fittings for your REST API".
All that is to say, the incredibly "boring" infrastructural work of making "boring" APIs like Hubspot's more usefully accessible is absolutely the kind of thing I'm excited to do at Anthropic :)
(It also happens to be what got us all excited to work at stainless in the first place, but of course, we understand it's not for everyone!)
In the niches there are riches and boring businesses build wealth. Congrats!
Good for you guys. I'm happy for you.
I can't even figure out what Stainless does (did)
It turned API specs into ssoftware devolopment kits and model context servers. Basically connecting existing tools to AI agents so they can actually use them.
They might be a big part of the reason why claude code can edit notion docs for you pretty easily
do they have one of those websites that looks like all of those websites
edit: they sure do
Nothing (AI slop to create an unnecessary product, funded by A16Z).
