OpenAI Launches Agents API for AI Agent Management
OpenAI has introduced the Agents API, a new managed cloud service designed for building and running AI agents with support for long-running sessions and orchestration.
What happened?
OpenAI has launched its new Agents API, a managed cloud service intended for building and running autonomous agents. The service is powered by OpenAI's Codex framework and manages orchestration, long-running sessions, and integrated tool usage. The API is designed to simplify the development of more complex AI agents capable of performing multi-step tasks independently.

”Build and launch cloud agents with the Agents API, a managed service powered by the Codex harness for orchestration, long-running sessions, and tool use.”
Why it matters
Running AI agents that perform long-term tasks typically requires complex infrastructure for state management, error recovery, and tool integration. By providing a turnkey platform for orchestration, OpenAI lowers the threshold for deploying scalable agents in production environments.
Who is affected?
The service is primarily aimed at software developers, product teams, and enterprises building agent-based applications and automated code editing tools. Both global developers and Swedish AI companies will have access to the same managed infrastructure.
Impact on the EU
The Agents API is provided as a cloud service via OpenAI. European organisations and developers using the service are subject to OpenAI's standard data management policies as well as EU regulations such as the GDPR regarding the transfer and processing of personal data.
What else you should know
The launch means developers no longer need to build their own infrastructure to manage state, sessions, and tool calls for more autonomous code agents. The service is built on the same Codex architecture that OpenAI previously utilised for code storage and execution.
