our commitment to Open Standards
Built on Open Standards.
Never Locked In.
The agentic future must be built on shared, open foundations. Jentic is built entirely on open specifications so that your workflows, integrations, and business logic remain portable, interoperable, and fully under your control.

Why It Matters
Why Open Standards Are Non-Negotiable
No Vendor Lock-In
Your workflows are stored as open, declarative artifacts. They can be reviewed, versioned, moved, and run anywhere. If you leave Jentic, your workflows leave with you.
Interoperability
by Default
Open standards mean your agentic workflows work across any agent framework, any model provider, and any cloud. You choose the best tools for the job, not the ones a vendor forces on you.
Community-Driven Evolution
Standards improve through public scrutiny and real-world use cases, not behind closed doors. By building on open specs, your infrastructure benefits from contributions across the entire ecosystem.
How It Works
Three Layers of Open Infrastructure
Each standard serves a distinct purpose in the stack. Together, they form the complete foundation for enterprise AI that is portable, governed, and built to last.
OpenAPI
Every reliable AI integration starts with a clear contract. OpenAPI gives agents and developers a shared, machine-readable language for API operations, parameters, authentication, and responses. Without it, agents are left guessing. With it, discovery, orchestration, and production hardening all accelerate.
How Jentic Uses OpenAPI
Jentic uses OpenAPI as the foundation of its entire platform. Our API Scorecard assesses your existing APIs against OpenAPI best practices, scoring them for both developer experience (DX) and agent experience (AX). We then generate prioritized improvement suggestions using the Overlays specification, so your team can make APIs agent-ready without rebuilding from scratch.
Open Source
Jentic Public APIs
We believe the agentic knowledge layer should be open, distributed, and community-owned. Jentic Public APIs is our open repository of API documents and Arazzo workflows, covering 1,500+ public SaaS APIs and growing.
It's not just a catalog. It's a shared effort to build the declarative, AI-optimized knowledge that agents need to operate reliably across the world's software. Anyone can contribute, fork, and extend it.
The technical infrastructure of the internet succeeded because it was built on open standards and shared resources. The agentic layer of computing deserves the same foundation.

The People Behind the Standards
We Don't Just Use Standards. We Write Them.
Jentic has assembled one of the world's leading teams in API standards and enterprise infrastructure, including the people who created the specifications we build on.
Erik Wilde
Head of Enterprise Strategy
OpenAPI Initiative Ambassador
A defining figure in the global API community, Erik shapes Jentic's standards strategy while helping organise OpenAPI community events and driving adoption across the enterprise landscape.
Frank Kilcommins
Head of Enterprise Architecture
Co-author & Editor, Arazzo Specification
As a co-author and editor of Arazzo, Frank brings unmatched depth to Jentic's workflow engine and ensures our implementation stays true to the standard's intent.
Our team also includes key developers behind Swagger, one of the most widely used API toolsets.
Our Philosophy
Workflows are strategic assets that should live as open, declarative artifacts that outlast any product or vendor. If a workflow is written down in a clear spec, it can be reviewed, versioned, secured, observed, and moved. If it is trapped in proprietary glue code, it becomes a liability.
