OpenAI has introduced Frontier, a platform designed to help businesses build, deploy, and manage AI agents across their organizations. The company positions the platform as a solution to the growing challenge of coordinating multiple AI agents that currently operate in isolated systems.
According to OpenAI, Frontier connects siloed data sources and applications to provide AI agents with shared business context. The platform allows agents to access tools, run code, work with files, and build memories from past interactions. OpenAI states that agents can operate across different environments without requiring companies to change their existing infrastructure.
The platform includes identity management and permission controls for each AI agent, which OpenAI says makes deployment possible in regulated environments. Companies can use agents built by OpenAI, develop their own, or integrate third-party agents through open standards.
Early adopters include HP, Intuit, Oracle, State Farm, Thermo Fisher, and Uber. OpenAI claims that existing customers like BBVA, Cisco, and T-Mobile have piloted the platform. State Farm’s Chief Digital Information Officer Joe Park said the partnership helps give employees better tools to serve customers.
OpenAI assigns Forward Deployed Engineers to work with customer teams on implementation. These engineers also provide feedback to OpenAI Research about how models need to evolve for enterprise use.
The platform is available to a limited set of customers, with broader availability planned for coming months. OpenAI has not disclosed pricing information. Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser declined to provide pricing details during a press briefing.
