OpenAI Launches New Tools to Help Businesses Build AI Agents

OpenAI has introduced new tools, including the Responses API and Agents SDK, to help businesses and developers create AI agents capable of performing tasks like web searches, file navigation, and automating workflows. These tools aim to simplify the development of agentic applications by providing built-in functionalities and improving accuracy. The Responses API replaces the Assistants API, which will be discontinued in 2026, and offers access to advanced AI models like GPT-4o search. OpenAI is also focusing on enhancing the autonomy and reliability of these agents for practical use. This will help businesses improve efficiency by automating tasks.
