It is everything you need to build, deploy, and optimize agent workflows with way less friction,\u201d Altman said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch highlights OpenAI\u2019s push to increase developer adoption by making agent building faster and easier. It also signals a competitive move against other AI platforms racing to offer integrated tools for building autonomous agents for enterprises that can perform complex tasks, not just respond to prompts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AgentKit\u00a0was one of several announcements at OpenAI\u2019s Dev Day,\u00a0including the launch of the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/10\/06\/openai-launches-apps-inside-of-chatgpt\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">build apps directly inside ChatGPT<\/a>, which has hit <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/10\/06\/sam-altman-says-chatgpt-has-hit-800m-weekly-active-users\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">800 million weekly active users<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AgentKit\u00a0includes a few core capabilities. The first is Agent Builder, which Altman\u00a0described\u00a0as like Canva for building agents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a fast, visual way to design the logic, steps, ideas,\u201d Altman said. \u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0built on top of the responses API that hundreds of thousands of developers already use.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second capability of\u00a0AgentKit\u00a0is\u00a0ChatKit, which provides a simple embeddable chat interface that developers can use to bring chat experiences into their own apps.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can bring your own brand, your own workflows, whatever makes your own product unique,\u201d Altman said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evals for Agents\u00a0introduces tools to measure AI agent performance, including step-by-step trace grading, datasets for assessing individual agent components, automated prompt optimization, and the ability to run evaluations on external models directly from the OpenAI platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally,\u00a0AgentKit\u00a0includes access to OpenAI\u2019s connector registry, so developers can securely connect agents to internal tools and third-party systems through an \u201cadmin control panel\u201d while\u00a0maintaining\u00a0security and control.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prove how easy it is to use\u00a0AgentKit, Christina Huang, an OpenAI engineer, built an entire AI workflow and two AI agents live onstage in under eight minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is all the stuff that we wished we had when we were trying to build our first agents,\u201d Altman said, noting that OpenAI has already signed on several launch partners that have already scaled agents using\u00a0AgentKit.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Monday announced the launch of\u00a0AgentKit, a toolkit for building and deploying\u00a0AI agents,\u00a0at the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[124207,256,17162,254,255,64,63,5004,5044,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-197966","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-agentkit","9":"tag-ai","10":"tag-ai-agents","11":"tag-artificial-intelligence","12":"tag-artificialintelligence","13":"tag-au","14":"tag-australia","15":"tag-chatgpt","16":"tag-openai","17":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
