The Client: The Integration Backbone for AI

Pica is an agentic AI tooling platform that enables developers to connect AI agents to over 150+ platforms through a single SDK. It serves as the integration backbone for AI applications—eliminating the need for manual API keys or complex configurations. With Pica, developers can connect, authenticate, and execute actions instantly using their modular products: OneTool, AuthKit, and BuildKit.

OneTool provides a single SDK that integrates with major platforms such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, GitHub, and Gmail with zero-shot execution.

AuthKit manages OAuth and token lifecycles automatically for multi-tenant applications.

BuildKit allows developers to create AI integrations that work immediately, requiring no manual configuration.

Built in Rust for performance and low latency, Pica offers access to over 25,000 executable actions across all connected apps, making it the most versatile integration layer in the agentic AI ecosystem.

The Challenge: Scaling Integrations in a Fragmented API Ecosystem

As the number of platforms and APIs grew, so did the complexity of integration. Each platform had its own documentation format, authentication logic, and versioning model. Some APIs were protected behind Shadow DOMs or had structures that actively discouraged scraping.

For Pica to fulfill its goal of being the universal integration infrastructure for AI agents, it needed an engine that could adapt and scale while generating AI-friendly, lightweight responses to avoid exhausting AI model context limits.

The Solution: A Universal SDK Powered by Rust & NestJS

Ajackus took complete ownership of Pica’s integration ecosystem, designing and implementing a core set of tools that now power the entire system:

High-Performance Scraper: Intelliscan

We developed Intelliscan, a high-performance scraper capable of processing OpenAPI and Google Discovery documents in under five seconds. This allows for near-instant ingestion of complex API structures.

Token Optimization: Composer

The Composer system serves as an intelligent engine that transforms raw, bloated API responses into lightweight, AI-friendly outputs. By minimizing response size, Composer significantly enhances AI model efficiency and reduces operational costs associated with context limits.

Automated Management: Backoffice & OAuth

Ajackus built Backoffice, an internal interface for managing integrations, jobs, and authentication flows. We also implemented automated OAuth Configurations to manage token lifecycles for multi-tenant use cases seamlessly.

The Journey: From IntegrationOS to Market Leader

The collaboration began in November 2023. Over time, Ajackus moved from manual processes to continuous pattern analysis and helper utilities. What once took five days per integration now takes less than half a day, allowing for a consistent delivery of 2-3 new integrations daily.

Ajackus maintained near-daily collaboration with Pica’s developers, maintaining a culture of accountability and transparent task management while helping develop everyday.new, a product that achieved #1 on Product Hunt.

Key Results & Business Impact

Ajackus’ partnership with Pica has produced measurable and lasting results:

  • 160+ Verified Integrations: Each integration is thoroughly verified as “Stable” before production.
  • Scalable Development: The ability to add 2-3 new integrations per day has significantly increased Pica’s market coverage.
  • Enterprise Adoption: Pica’s comprehensive endpoint coverage has attracted enterprise clients and forged strategic partnerships with platforms like ActiveCampaign.
  • Zero-Shot Execution: Developers can now connect and execute actions across 25,000+ endpoints with zero manual configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Using Pica’s universal integration layer, built by Ajackus, developers can use a single Rust-powered SDK to access 25,000+ executable actions across platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Slack with zero-shot execution.
We developed a system called "Composer" that filters raw API data into lightweight, AI-friendly responses, ensuring that agents only receive the information they need to perform a task.
