OpenAI ships a managed Agents API — orchestration and tool use, no harness required
Building an AI agent? OpenAI just did the plumbing for you — have you seen this?
OpenAI launched the Agents API, a managed service built on the Codex harness that handles orchestration, long-running sessions, and tool use for you. Vercel already shipped same-day support to deploy these agents with sandboxed code execution.
What this means for your business
If you were building custom agent infrastructure, you can probably rip out that code and use OpenAI's managed service instead — less plumbing, faster ship.
Wondering how this applies to your workflow? That's a short conversation.
