100-word summary
OpenAI released Frontier, an intelligence layer that lets AI agents actually share context across your company's tools instead of working in silos. Think less "isolated chatbot per app" and more "coworker who remembers what happened in Salesforce when debugging code." Early customers like Oracle and Uber are already using it. One example: an agent that researches prospects, scores them, drafts emails, and updates your CRM without hand-offs. Another cuts bug diagnosis from hours to minutes by pulling logs and docs automatically. The system learns from feedback and operates across cloud environments with permission controls. OpenAI is betting companies want one AI experience, not fifty disconnected tools.
