Issue 12: AI Punched Me!

API, Punches & MidJourney Animation

🧠 AI Term of The Week: API

API = Application Programming Interface: Think of APIs like a translator between tools.

APIs let different software and services “talk to each other.” When an app lets you send a video to YouTube, fetch data from Airtable or Notion, or generate images with AI — that’s an API in action.

As AI creators, APIs are the bridge between ideas and action.
You don’t need to code them — just understand their power and what they can unlock.
