Welcome Pooja Mistry, Senior Developer Advocate at Postman on this episode of 🔥 The Lantern 🔥
Postman is the AI-native API platform used by 40 million developers across 500,000+ organizations…and they’re expanding their team here in Boston.
🚀 What’s new at Postman in 2026? 🚀
Postman just re-architected its entire platform as an AI-native API platform.
Git-connected Workspaces, a new API catalog, and a full rebuild for the agentic era built for a world where AI agents are the consumers of your APIs, not just humans.
🤖 What does “AI-native” actually mean for builders? 🤖
It means you can now design, build, and test APIs with MCP servers, AI agents, and whatever IDE you’re already using all from one platform.
Postman is where you build for the agentic era. The companies building AI products today need API infrastructure that helps them keep pace.
🏙️ Why Boston and why now? 🏙️
Pooja is building Postman’s developer community presence here, starting with a live event April 1st at International Place in Downtown Boston, co-hosted by Lovable and Block.
Our top universities (like MIT & Harvard) and the broader Boston AI ecosystem make this city a natural home for what Postman is building.
Community isn’t a marketing channel, it’s your co-founders.
The builders who use your product every day are the ones who shape where it goes next!
🤝 How can we help Postman grow in Boston? 🤝
Show up! The April 1st Postman Developer Community event is free, hands-on, and designed for builders who want to work with APIs in the AI-native era.
Workshops, bootcamps, and more are coming too. If you’re building with AI agents or APIs, this is a great community to join!
