Back to glossary Open AI Agent
Open AI Agent is an autonomous AI system built using OpenAI’s models and infrastructure that can independently perform complex tasks, make decisions, and interact with external tools without constant human oversight. These agents leverage OpenAI’s GPT models as their reasoning foundation, combined with function calling capabilities, tool integration, and workflow orchestration to execute multi-step processes autonomously. OpenAI’s Computer-Using Agent (CUA) exemplifies this approach by combining GPT-4o’s vision capabilities with advanced reasoning through reinforcement learning, trained to interact with graphical user interfaces.
The Open AI Agents SDK enables developers to build agentic AI applications with lightweight primitives including agents equipped with LLMs, facilitating the creation of production-ready autonomous systems. OpenAI agents can handle diverse applications from web browsing and data analysis to customer service and content creation, representing a significant evolution from traditional chatbot interactions toward truly autonomous AI assistants capable of independent task execution.
