OpenAI introduced Frontier, a new enterprise platform designed to help companies build, deploy and manage artificial intelligence agents capable of performing complex workplace tasks, as businesses accelerate adoption of AI beyond experimental use cases.
The company said Frontier aims to address organizational and operational barriers that have slowed wider deployment of AI agents, even as demand grows across industries. OpenAI cited internal data showing that 75% of enterprise workers report AI has enabled them to complete tasks they previously could not, reflecting a shift in how work is carried out across departments.

OpenAI pointed to examples from more than one million businesses it has worked with in recent years. At a major semiconductor manufacturer, AI agents cut chip optimization work from six weeks to one day, while a global investment firm used agents across its sales process to free up more than 90% additional time for customer engagement. In the energy sector, agents helped raise output by up to 5%, contributing more than $1 billion in added revenue, the company said.
According to OpenAI, Frontier is designed to move enterprises from isolated AI deployments to what it describes as “AI coworkers” that operate across the organization. “What’s slowing them down isn’t model intelligence, it’s how agents are built and run in their organizations,” the company said in the release.
