OpenAI has released a suite of APIs and tools, including the Responses API and Agents SDK, to streamline the development of AI agents.
These tools enable developers and enterprises to build autonomous systems capable of performing tasks independently, such as web searching, file searching, and computer use automation.
The Responses API integrates features from the Chat Completions API and Assistants API, while the Agents SDK simplifies agent workflow management.
OpenAI plans to deprecate the Assistants API in mid-2026, migrating users to the Responses API.
The new tools are designed to reduce the need for extensive prompt engineering and custom orchestration logic, making it easier to leverage AI advances for various applications.
