OpenAI Launches New DevTools for Easier AI-Agent Building
san francisco, dinsdag, 7 oktober 2025.
OpenAI has launched new developer tools, including the Agent Builder and AgentKit, to simplify the building of AI agents. The Agent Builder enables users to manage workflows visually without custom code, while AgentKit offers integrations with various platforms. These tools are now available in beta for the API, Enterprise, and Edu versions of ChatGPT, significantly easing the creation of production-grade AI systems.
Visual Workflow Management with Agent Builder
The Agent Builder is a visual, low-code platform that simplifies the creation and management of workflows for AI agents. Users can design workflows by dragging and dropping blocks, without needing to write complex code. This tool also supports custom ‘guardrails’ to limit an agent’s capabilities, enhancing safety and control [1].
Integration and Collaboration with AgentKit
AgentKit comprises three main tools: Agent Builder, Connected Registry, and ChatKit. With Connected Registry, companies can manage data access via OpenAI tools across multiple work environments or organisations. This service supports standard integration with popular platforms such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft Teams. Administrators can manage these settings through an admin dashboard, facilitating collaboration and data sharing [1].
ChatKit for Easy Chatbot Integration
ChatKit is a tool that simplifies embedding chatbots into existing systems. Users can customise chatbot UIs using widgets and other visualisations. After embedding in the frontend, it is possible to edit the bot visually. ChatKit offers flexibility, as the bot can be hosted with the ChatKit Python SDK or run on an OpenAI dev server [1].
Impact on Developers and Businesses
The introduction of these new devtools marks a significant step in the mainstream adoption of agent technology. By lowering the barrier to building production-grade AI systems, more developers and businesses can benefit from the advantages of AI agents. This opens up opportunities for various applications, such as helpdesk assistants and HR bots, which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes [1][2].
Benefits and Challenges
The new devtools offer several benefits, including faster development, better collaboration, and improved security. However, with the growing popularity of AI agents, ethical and security issues also arise. It is crucial that developers and businesses are aware of the potential impact on privacy and security and take adequate measures to mitigate these risks [1][3].
