OpenAI has introduced Frontier, a new enterprise platform designed to help organisations deploy AI agents at scale, transforming experimental AI projects into governed, context-aware digital coworkers embedded across core business systems.
OpenAI has launched a new enterprise-focused platform called Frontier, positioning it as a foundational layer for companies looking to integrate AI agents directly into everyday business operations. The platform is designed to help enterprises move beyond pilot projects and embed AI as a reliable, governed part of their digital infrastructure.
According to OpenAI, Frontier enables organisations to build, deploy and manage AI agents that function more like long-term team members than standalone tools. These agents are designed to operate across workflows, applications and internal systems, supporting employees with tasks that require contextual understanding and ongoing learning.
OpenAI said Frontier addresses a common enterprise challenge: AI initiatives often remain fragmented, limited to isolated use cases without scale or oversight. By contrast, Frontier aims to centralise governance, permissions and operational boundaries, allowing AI agents to act consistently and securely across the organisation.
Turning AI agents into “digital coworkers”
At the core of Frontier is deep integration with enterprise data sources such as customer relationship management platforms, data warehouses, ticketing systems and internal applications. This allows AI agents to access the same contextual information that human employees rely on to make decisions.
OpenAI described Frontier as a “semantic layer” for enterprises, enabling AI agents to interpret, share and act on organisational knowledge. With appropriate onboarding, feedback loops and defined permissions, these agents can perform tasks such as gathering data, working within documents, running code and interacting with business tools on behalf of employees.
The platform is designed for both technical and non-technical teams, allowing a wider range of users to deploy AI agents without extensive engineering effort. Over time, the agents can retain memory from previous interactions, improving accuracy and effectiveness as they gain experience within specific business environments.
Early enterprise adoption and rollout plans
Several global enterprises have already begun integrating or piloting Frontier, including HP, Intuit, Oracle, State Farm, Thermo Fisher and Uber. OpenAI said additional organisations such as BBVA, Cisco and T-Mobile are testing the platform as part of early adoption programmes.
For now, Frontier is available only to a limited group of selected customers. OpenAI plans to gradually expand access in the coming months but has not yet disclosed pricing details or broader commercial terms.
As enterprises increasingly look to operationalise AI rather than experiment with it, Frontier signals OpenAI’s push to position AI agents as durable components of enterprise IT stacks, rather than optional productivity add-ons.
