Corrected: Introducing the Agents API

CodexProduct changeConfirmed

Correction: Updated on 6 Oct: since 29 Sep, Agents API agents can use computer use to complete tasks in an OpenAI-hosted browser. Your application handles website access approvals and sign-in.

OpenAI's Agents API lets developers build assistants that use tools and continue longer tasks in the cloud.

OpenAI manages the core system behind the assistant; developers choose where it runs and which tools it can use.
Since September 29, agents can also use computer use: they complete tasks in an OpenAI-hosted browser, while your application handles website access approvals and sign-in.

Who can use it: Public beta for all developers. There is no separate Agents API fee; developers pay for the model usage and tools their assistants use.
When: Public beta from 2026-09-10. Computer use added on 2026-09-29.
