Build AI Faster with Backboard’s New Unified API

What's New

Backboard’s API is now simpler, faster, and easier to integrate — giving developers a one-call flow for building stateful AI systems without stitching together context, memory, tools, and configuration manually.

One-Call Conversations

• Start a conversation with a single request.

• Automatically handle context and memory behind the scenes.

• Apply system instructions, tools, model selection, and memory behavior per interaction.

• Continue seamlessly by referencing the same thread.

Streamlined API Surface

• A unified interaction flow now handles input, response, context, memory, and system behavior in one lifecycle.

• Simplified tool handling reduces the amount of state developers need to track manually.

• Run controls make it easier to manage in-progress requests, including stopping execution when needed.

Memory Management

• Reset or adjust memory state without rebuilding your system.

• Configure memory behavior per request without affecting global settings.

• Keep persistent configurations available through dedicated endpoints when needed.

Per-Interaction Configuration

Each request can define its own:

• system instructions

• tool usage

• model selection

• memory behavior

This makes every interaction behave exactly as specified, without unintended side effects across threads or assistants.

Updated SDKs + Docs

• Python and JavaScript/TypeScript SDKs now support the simplified interaction model.

• Docs have been rewritten with clearer examples, better organization, and updated guides for streaming and tool usage

Backward Compatibility

All existing endpoints remain supported.

• No forced migrations.

• No migration deadlines.

• Teams can adopt the new API at their own pace.

How to Use It

Send a single request to start a stateful interaction, then continue the conversation by referencing the same thread.
