Strides provides an AI API built for SaaS products — action execution, persistent memory, live data querying, and intelligent reasoning. One script tag or full API access.
The AI Infrastructure Stack.
Everything you'd spend months building, available via one script tag or our REST API.
One-Script-Tag Install
Paste one line of code and walk away. Strides auto-discovers every page, route, and API endpoint in your app without any configuration.
Autonomous Actions
The AI doesn't just answer questions — it executes tasks. Draft an invoice, reassign a ticket, send a report — using your real APIs, in your real product.
100% White-Labeled
Your branding. Your product name. Your colors. Strides is permanently invisible. No "powered by" badge, no Strides mention anywhere in the UI.
Strict Tenant Isolation
Built for multi-tenant SaaS from day one. Every user sees only their own data. Zero cross-tenant bleed at the architecture level.
Live User Context
Strides queries your real APIs for each user's actual data in real time. No static snapshots. No generic answers. The AI knows exactly what's in their account right now.
Streaming Responses
Responses stream back via SSE the moment generation starts. Sub-200ms TTFB globally via our edge CDN. No loading spinners. No waiting.
What the Strides AI API Gives You That a Raw LLM API Doesn't
Calling a language model API directly gives you token-in, token-out. You send a prompt; you get a completion. Everything between your product's data and that completion — fetching relevant context, maintaining conversation history, understanding what actions the AI can take, executing those actions via your APIs, managing multi-tenant data isolation, streaming the response to the user — is your problem to build and maintain.
The Strides AI API is an abstraction layer above the raw model API. It handles the context retrieval, action execution, memory management, streaming, and tenant isolation that your team would otherwise spend months engineering. The API you integrate with is a simple, clean REST interface: send a user message, get a streaming response and any actions taken. The infrastructure complexity is invisible.
The action execution layer is the most significant differentiator. When a user asks the AI to do something in your product — create a record, send a report, update a setting — the API doesn't just respond with instructions. It calls your defined action endpoints, executes the operation, and returns confirmation. The gap between conversation and action closes entirely.
Persistent memory works at the user level and at the account level. Strides maintains context across sessions — a user who discussed a problem last week picks up where they left off without re-explaining everything. This persistence is tenant-isolated, meaning no context from one user ever influences another. It's the behavior users expect from a great product AI, built in at the infrastructure level.
For engineering teams that need more control than the script-tag approach provides — custom UI embedding, fine-grained action permissions, custom telemetry, or non-standard authentication flows — the API provides full programmatic access to every capability. You can build exactly the product experience you want, with Strides handling the AI infrastructure that makes it work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the script tag and the API?
The script tag gives you a zero-configuration deployment — paste it and the AI feature goes live automatically. The API gives you full programmatic control — you build your own UI, manage the conversation lifecycle, and call the API directly. Both use the same underlying infrastructure.
What authentication model does the API use?
API requests are authenticated with an API key. Per-user tenant context is established via a signed session token that you generate server-side, ensuring that each API call is scoped to the correct user's data.
How does streaming work in the API?
The API returns Server-Sent Events (SSE). Your client opens a connection, and tokens stream back as they're generated. You can start rendering the response immediately — no waiting for completion.
Is there a rate limit on the API?
Rate limits are generous and scale with your plan. Most products never hit the default limits. If you're building high-volume use cases, we can configure custom rate limits for your account.
Can I use the API to build a custom AI interface, not the standard widget?
Yes. The API is designed for exactly that use case. You build whatever UI you want; the API handles the AI intelligence, context management, action execution, and streaming behind it.
How do I define custom actions that the AI can execute?
Actions are defined via a simple schema in your Strides dashboard — you describe the endpoint, the parameters, and the authentication. The API routes action requests through your defined endpoints when the AI determines an action is appropriate.
