There are numerous potential enterprise application use cases. For example, imagine you found a website selling co-working spaces and wanted to get a spreadsheet with all the available spaces, prices, etc., but the website doesn't make that information accessible in tabular form. You could certainly manually create such a spreadsheet using copy and paste, but that would take a lot of time and cause a lot of frustration. Or you can use API Genie to build an API for you in a few seconds. Then you could use this API and get into excel or app, etc. The possibilities are unlimited. For businesses this opens up new market opportunities, accelerating innovation, expanding into new business verticals and building future ready platform for applications.
