Good morning, CIOs. OpenAI on Tuesday unveiled an agent-building platform that lets companies create their own bots for work such as financial analysis and customer service.
“Now, people can engage with agents,” OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap tells the WSJ’s Belle Lin. “Those agents can go off and actually reference files, they can search the web, they can use computers.”
This is not a no-code play. To use its AI agent building platform, enterprise developers still need to have a comprehensive technical background, OpenAI said. Developers can use any of OpenAI’s models to power the agents they build, including the model that powers Operator.
OpenAI's announcement comes as both competition and hype around agents grow. Like some of its peers similarly selling agent software, the AI startup has proclaimed that 2025 is “the year of agents,” where the capabilities of the technology finally match up to its usefulness. But are businesses ready to adopt agents? It's
complicated. Read the story.

America turns to Ukraine to build better drones. U.S. startups have spent billions of venture-capital dollars producing expensive aircraft that don’t fly very well. Ukrainian drone makers, meanwhile, have mastered mass-producing drones despite limited resources. Now, the two sides are coming together, and the pairing is getting attention from the Defense Department, the WSJ's Heather Somerville reports.
