OpenAI now lets teams make custom bots that can do work on their own

OpenAI has announced the launch of cloud-based 'workspace' agents for users on Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans. These agents can perform tasks like gathering product feedback from the web and sending reports via Slack, or drafting follow-up emails in Gmail. This initiative comes amid growing interest in AI agents, particularly after the viral success of OpenClaw, an AI agent known for its practical applications. Peter Steinberger, the founder of OpenClaw, has joined OpenAI, highlighting the company's commitment to enhancing its capabilities in this area.
