Kong Inc., a cloud API technologies company, has announced the release of Kong AI Gateway 3.10, introducing key enhancements designed to provide the security and governance needed to make generative AI (GenAI) and Agentic AI production-ready. The latest version includes automated Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to reduce LLM hallucinations and a robust Personally Identifiable Information (PII) sanitization plugin supporting 20+ PII types across 12 languages.

Kong AI Gateway 3.10 is now also integrated into Kong Konnect, the company’s API lifecycle platform. This integration allows organizations to manage and secure AI and API operations at scale, improving developer productivity and accelerating AI adoption.

“As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, organizations must adopt robust AI infrastructure to harness its full potential,” said Marco Palladino, CTO and Co-Founder, Kong Inc. “With this latest version of Kong AI Gateway, we’re equipping our customers with the tools necessary to implement Agentic AI securely and effectively, ensuring seamless integration without compromising user experience. Moreover, we’re helping solve some of the biggest challenges with LLMs, such as cutting down on hallucinations and improving data security and governance. Finally, since AI agents are only as capable as the APIs that they can consume, Kong’s AI Gateway nicely complements the Kong Konnect API platform, which together deliver the world’s first API and AI control plane to accelerate the business and make it more efficient with AI.”

Key Features in Kong AI Gateway 3.10:

AI RAG Injector

• Reduces Hallucinations: Automatically augments LLM prompts with relevant data via real-time vector database queries.
• Boosts Security: Places vector databases behind the Kong AI Gateway to strengthen data protection.
• Streamlines Development: Offers low-code/no-code tools for building RAG pipelines, enabling automatic prompt embeddings and dynamic data retrieval.

PII Sanitization Plugin

• Enhances Data Governance: Automatically detects and protects sensitive data like passwords and PII without requiring manual coding.
• Customizable End User Experience: Allows original sanitized data to be reinserted in responses based on platform-defined configurations, maintaining both privacy and personalization.

AI Gateway Embedded in Kong Konnect

By embedding AI Gateway 3.10 into the Kong Konnect platform, Kong empowers enterprises to transform APIs into strategic assets, enforcing governance and streamlining development workflows for AI-driven applications.

Kong’s innovations aim to simplify the deployment of secure, high-performing AI infrastructure—removing barriers to adoption and supporting businesses in building reliable, responsible AI systems.
