In its announcement, OpenAI said, “workspace agents are an evolution of GPTs. Powered by Codex, they can take on many of the tasks people already do at work—from preparing reports, to writing code, to responding to messages. They run in the cloud, so they can keep working even when you’re not. They’re also designed to be shared within an organization, so teams can build an agent once, use it together in ChatGPT or Slack, and improve it over time.”
Microsoft, meanwhile, stated in a blog that its latest move “brings agent-optimized compute and services designed for production-grade enterprise agents.” After its preview of hosted agents last year at Microsoft Ignite, the company said, “this refresh is a fundamentally different experience: secure per-session sandboxes with filesystem persistence, integrated identity, and scale-to-zero economics.”
Announcements are connected
Jason Andersen, principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, said, “these four announcements are connected, as the frenzy around agents continues. What OpenAI is announcing is the native ability to support the creation and sharing of agents.”
