Lua AI

Lua (heylua.ai), operated by Lua Global Inc, is a Y Combinator-backed "Agent OS" platform for building, testing, deploying, and governing enterprise AI agents. People and agents work in shared rooms with shared memory and governance on every action. Developers author agents in TypeScript with the lua-cli SDK (LuaAgent/LuaSkill/LuaTool, plus webhooks, scheduled jobs, and pre/post processors), while non-technical users build support, sales, HR, and research agents no-code. Agents are model-agnostic (OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, DeepSeek, Gemini, Groq, xAI, Qwen) and deploy across WhatsApp, Slack, Email, Teams, Instagram, voice, an embeddable web chat widget (LuaPop), and a public HTTP chat API at api.heylua.ai. A read-only MCP server exposes agent state to MCP-aware clients.

Lua AI is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, AI Agents, Agent Platform, and Developer Tools.

The Lua AI catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Lua AI’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, changelog, CLI, authentication, and 22 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the AI & Biometrics regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

7 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Access Clarity scores 0.0 — up to +20.0 composite points
Contract Quality scores 39.0 — up to +15.3 composite points
Contract Governance scores 4.5 — up to +11.5 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/lua-global-inc/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/lua-global-inc to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Commerce Platform Ecosystems (Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe Apps)	builds-on	17.2 (thin)	-	1

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

measured — observed by APIs.io (documented)

APIs 1

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
