OpenAI has introduced new tools that empower businesses to create their own AI agents, enabling custom bots to perform tasks like web browsing and file management. This marks a significant move towards integrating autonomous AI assistants into the workplace.


Key Details:


  • The new Responses API combines web search, file scanning, and computer navigation capabilities, replacing the previous Assistants API, which will be retired in 2026.

  • Businesses can now develop agents using the same technology that powers Operator, with built-in features for web browsing and computer interface navigation.

  • A newly launched open-source Agents SDK helps developers build and manage both single and multi-agent systems while providing safety measures and monitoring tools.

  • Early adopters, including Stripe, which created an agent for invoicing, and Box, which developed agents for searching enterprise documents, are already utilizing the new tools.


Why is this significant:


2025 has been dubbed the "year of AI agents," with Manus in China raising the bar for AI agent development. While many AI agents have generated more hype than results, OpenAI’s tools for building and customizing AI agents could help move these systems from demo-stage to practical, real-world applications.
