# Overview

> An introduction to Gloo AI content and conversational AI APIs.

The Gloo AI API is designed to provide powerful, flexible access to the entire Gloo AI ecosystem. To help you get started, we've organized our API into two primary categories based on your primary use case.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Content & Data APIs" href="#content--data-apis">
    For populating our Data Engine and making your content discoverable.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Conversational AI APIs" href="#conversational-ai-apis">
    For building intelligent chatbots, assistants, and other AI-powered
    applications.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Content & Data APIs

These APIs are designed for content owners, publishers, and data administrators. Use them to populate the Gloo AI platform with your unique data and make it available for semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Upload Content" href="/api-guides/upload-content" icon="cloud-arrow-up">
    Upload text content directly for immediate processing and vectorization.
    Ideal for dynamic content.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Search API" href="/api-guides/search" icon="magnifying-glass">
    Query your ingested content using our AI-based, near-text, semantic search
    capabilities.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Manage Content" href="/api-guides/manage-content" icon="database">
    APIs for managing the lifecycle of ingested content and data in the Gloo AI
    platform.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Conversational AI APIs

These APIs are for developers building interactive AI experiences. They provide access to our powerful language models and the foundational structures needed for creating sophisticated, multi-turn conversations.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Responses API" href="/api-guides/responses-v1" icon="sparkles">
    The recommended endpoint for new integrations. OpenAI-compatible,
    multimodal (vision + image generation), with typed structured output.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Completions API (V2)" href="/api-guides/completions-v2" icon="route">
    Fully supported and backwards-compatible. Adds intelligent auto-routing,
    model\_family selection, and values-aligned responses.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tool Use" href="/api-guides/tool-use" icon="wrench">
    Enable LLMs to call external functions and tools on the Responses API and
    Completions V2.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Chat (Threads)" href="/api-guides/chat" icon="messages">
    Build stateful, multi-turn conversations with built-in memory, context, and
    history.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>
