Brivo Expands AI Capabilities for Security Platform API

Brivo has announced that the Brivo Security Platform API is now fully AI-friendly and AI-capable, a move the company said is intended to help developers and security systems integrators deploy business and security solutions more quickly.

According to Brivo, the updated API is designed to reduce development costs and make custom integrations more practical for a wider range of workflows and use cases that may have previously been considered too expensive or complex.

The company said enhancements to the Brivo Security Platform API include agent-friendly documentation, management tools and resources designed to help AI agents build, integrate and scale applications using the platform.

“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. “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.”

Collin Trimble, CEO of Houston-based Alarm Masters, said his company used OpenClaw and the Brivo Security Platform API to integrate Brivo’s access control platform with a third-party intrusion detection product.

“We’re now at the age where your ability to develop an integration is only limited by your imagination. I described the outcome I wanted in natural language, and OpenClaw built it,” Trimble said. “The biggest benefit for security integrators is that they are no longer beholden to a manufacturer’s roadmap. Security integrators can build their own integrations without hiring a developer, waiting years, or spending tens of thousands of dollars.”

Trimble also said not all APIs are AI-friendly and expressed hope that more manufacturers would adopt open APIs with strong documentation, examples and endpoint support.

Brivo said the updated API supports accelerated development by allowing AI agents to complete integration requests using AI-optimized documentation. Additional capabilities include natural language integration support, compatibility with AI models such as Gemini, Claude and GPT, and support for agentic coding platforms including Codex and Cursor.

The company also said the platform enables integrators to create unified applications using both access control and video API endpoints.

Brivo highlighted several recent integrations built using the platform, including coworking spaces using automated membership-based access control, gym franchises syncing member databases with access permissions and property rental groups deploying self-guided tours with temporary digital credentials.

Other examples included warehouse, office and apartment building operators using license plate-based gate entry systems, commercial office buildings integrating parking access with tenant management systems and daycare providers adding secure video sharing within management applications.

Brivo noted that it has maintained an open platform approach since its founding with a RESTful API supporting access control and video integrations. The company also stated that the Brivo Security Platform API combines the Eagle Eye Video API Platform and the Brivo API Platform following Brivo’s merger with Eagle Eye Networks in December 2025.
