OpenAI launches managed Agents API to simplify enterprise AI agent development

OpenAI on Wednesday introduced a new Agents API that brings the agent harness and infrastructure behind Codex to developers, potentially giving enterprises a way to build custom AI agents while removing much of the orchestration and infrastructure management traditionally required to make such agents work. That reduction in engineering complexity is possible because the Agents API is a managed service, with OpenAI hosting and maintaining the underlying harness and infrastructure.
