Brivo has announced its Security Platform API is now "AI-friendly," offering what it terms 'AI-optimized documentation' including llms.txt and skill files. This move aims to let artificial intelligence agents build and integrate applications with Brivo's access control and video systems more readily. The platform now provides machine-readable resources designed to streamline the development process for AI, cutting down integration times and costs.
Platform Enhancements Facilitate Custom Integrations
The updated API is designed to empower developers and systems integrators to create custom business and security solutions. This includes unifying access and video data, allowing agents to build applications that leverage both endpoints.
Simplified Development: Brivo states the API's documentation and resources are structured for easy interpretation by AI agents.
Faster Deployment: The company suggests this accelerates the creation and scaling of new applications, potentially reducing development cycles from months to hours.
"The Brivo Security Platform API makes this possible with AI-optimized documentation – machine-readable llms.txt and skill files – that provide AI agents everything they need to build diverse applications."
Real-World Application Example
Collin Trimble, CEO of Alarm Masters, a security integration firm based in Houston, has reportedly used the Brivo Security Platform API with a tool called OpenClaw. This enabled the integration of Brivo’s access control system with a third-party intrusion detection product.

"Agentic AI is upending systems integration in the physical security industry, enabling anyone to build apps on our platform leveraging video, access control, alarms and third-party technologies within hours, not months and at a fraction of the cost," said Dean Drako, CEO of Brivo.
Drako also noted that this development allows security integrators to move beyond relying solely on a manufacturer's development roadmap.
Background
Brivo, a provider of cloud-native physical security solutions, has positioned itself as an "AI innovator." The company’s announcement, made a day prior to this report, suggests a strategic pivot towards enabling more automated and adaptable integrations within the physical security sector. Potential applications highlighted include automated door access for coworking spaces, reducing manual key management for 24/7 operations.
Access to the Brivo Security Platform API is available via apidocs.brivo.com.
