SDL Studio Integration API

Dear SDL OpenExchange Developers,

I recently received an e-mail about the release of the new Studio Integration API  The short description of this API had two bullets:

- Extend or customize the user interface for Studio 2014 applications.
- Create custom functionalities for the SDL Trados Studio application

The first bullet makes sense to me, but what doese the second one actually mean? Could you provide me with a few examples of what can done with this API. I would like to integrate stand-alone tools that we have developed into the translation process. Can I develop custom batch tasks or modify exisiting batch tasks with this API?

I'm not a fully-fledged developer myself and I don't think looking at the API itself would really help me. But I would like to know what can be done with the API to see if it might solve my needs.

Thanks for any help.

Robert
