OpenAI also offers workspace agents that can orchestrate multi-step tasks, access tools, and maintain context across teams, while robust safety safeguards protect against misuse. The platform is available on major cloud providers such as AWS, allowing enterprises to embed AI capabilities within existing security, compliance, and governance frameworks.
