OpenAI Launches Agents API for Long-Running Cloud Agents

What OpenAI announced

FAQ

What is OpenAI's Agents API?

It is a managed service that lets teams build and run cloud agents with orchestration, long-running sessions, and tool use, powered by Codex.

How does Agents API differ from the earlier Assistants API?

Agents API focuses on long-running sessions, orchestration, and tool use in a managed cloud environment rather than short conversational interactions, making it better suited to complex workflows.

Should MENA enterprises adopt it now?

It is worth piloting in government, banking, and telecom use cases because it reduces infrastructure overhead, but teams should verify data residency and governance first.

Can Agents API run inside the region?

That depends on OpenAI and partner cloud regions; teams must confirm processing location and compliance before production deployment.
