OpenAI has launched its Agents API in public beta, a managed service intended to simplify the development and deployment of autonomous AI agents. The API provides access to infrastructure and orchestration tools used by Codex and ChatGPT for Work, enabling developers to create custom agents by specifying tasks, models, and tools.

The service automates backend processes such as session management, execution environments, and tool orchestration. It includes features like automatic context compaction, intelligent tool searching, and support for multi-agent workflows. Developers can choose to run agents in an OpenAI-managed sandbox, on internal company infrastructure, or via third-party providers such as Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, and Oracle.
