Question
Hi there ! I think people already asked, but is there a tool to create a connector out of an OpenAPI definition? If not, is there any active development in progress on this?

There is some functionality in this related to the Connection Builder AI feature (currently a closed preview), where you can point it to both the docs and an OpenAPI definition, if available.
This wasn’t in the preview video they first released in the Spring update, but you can see it shown in Michel’s LinkedIn screenshot of the new feature:

<@U05JENRCF7C> thanks for your reply but this only covers generating schemas for the streams outputs… not for the entire configuration of those streams… routes, params, etc… There is an interesting new specification in the Open API Initiative called Arazzo that describes call chainings. https://github.com/OAI/Arazzo-Specification I don’t know if that AI functionality takes advantage of that one?
I think the AI stuff is pretty basic right now . . . I saw it struggle with an API split across many multi-level child spec files (probably partly because OpenAPI doesn’t define these patterns all that clearly). But I’m sure they’ll continue to iterate quickly on that stuff. Even if it just helps with the initial scaffolding I think it’s a nice win if they can get it playing nice with the 70-80% mark of sources
