OpenAI Pivots from Chat to Autonomous Agents
OpenAI reports that enterprise users are shifting from conversational chatbots to autonomous agents that can execute tasks independently. The company's Codex platform now powers agents that write code, manage workflows, and interact with external APIs. This move signals OpenAI's bet on agent-based AI as the next growth frontier beyond simple chat interfaces.

The claim that employees are 'moving beyond chat' is self-serving—OpenAI needs to justify its massive compute spending, but the agent shift is real and could reshape enterprise software.
