Competition in the agent market

The technology company faces a crowded field of existing 24/7 assistants from other firms. Rivals include Meta's Muse, SpaceX's Grok Bot, and the open-source OpenClaw platform. Industry analysts note that OpenAI previously demonstrated agentic API features at its 2024 DevDay.

Goals for the new system

The upcoming release aims to combine utility from various platforms with low setup costs. It also intends to address serious security risks that have affected similar tools since late last year. Early versions focused on computer use and research were released in mid-2025.
