OpenAI Launches Frontier, a Platform to Build, Deploy, and Manage AI Agents Across the Enterprise

"OpenAI Frontier is an enterprise platform for building, deploying, and managing AI agents, designed to make AI agents reliable, scalable, and integrated into real company systems and workflows. According to OpenAI, as agents are deployed widely across the enterprise, system fragmentation is becoming more visible and acute. This happens because agents are deployed in isolation, which limits the context they have available to perform effectively. In extreme cases, "every new agent can end up adding complexity instead of helping. To address this challenge, Frontier emphasizes shared business context via CRMs, warehouses, and internal tools; onboarding to help agents grasp "institutional knowledge and internal language"; and identity and governance, ensuring each agent has permissions, boundaries, and auditability suitable for regulated environments. Together, OpenAI says, these capabilities define the new role of an AI coworker."

"You can bring your existing data and AI together where it lives - as well as integrate the applications you already use-using open standards. That means no new formats and no abandoning agents or applications you've already deployed. OpenAI envisions that, through this broad integration across the enterprise, AI coworkers "can partner with people wherever work happens". This includes both OpenAI's products, like ChatGPT and Atlas, as well as existing business applications, and applies to all kind of agents, regardless of their origin."

"The thread shows clear frustration from individual users feeling sidelined as OpenAI pivots harder toward enterprise. A calm observation: the real test isn't whether agents can do office work, it's whether the people who once"

OpenAI Frontier provides an enterprise platform for building, deploying, and managing AI agents with an emphasis on reliability, scalability, and integration into company systems and workflows. Frontier addresses system fragmentation by enabling shared business context through CRMs, data warehouses, and internal tools and by onboarding agents to institutional knowledge and internal language. Frontier enforces identity, permissions, boundaries, and auditability for regulated environments. Frontier allows organizations to use existing data, applications, and open standards without changing formats or abandoning deployed agents. Broad integration aims to let AI coworkers partner with people across existing products and business applications.
