Introducing the Agents API

OpenAI has launched the Agents API, a managed service designed to facilitate the deployment of cloud-based agents capable of handling long-running sessions and tool execution. Powered by the Codex harness for orchestration, this tool is intended to simplify the development process for building autonomous systems that interact with external software. By providing an integrated infrastructure for these workflows, the API lowers the barrier for developers looking to move beyond simple chat responses into task-oriented automation.
