OpenAI’s annual developer conference in San Francisco unveiled significant updates for developers. The key highlights include the beta launch of AgentKit, a no-code agent builder allowing enterprises to create and deploy agents with ease. As AI evolves from question-answering systems to task-specific agents, AgentKit simplifies the production process by integrating external data sources like Dropbox and Google Drive, while ensuring data security.
Additionally, OpenAI introduced apps in ChatGPT, enabling third-party applications to enhance user interactions. The Apps SDK facilitates the development of app-like experiences directly within ChatGPT, allowing users to browse platforms like Zillow effortlessly within the chat interface.
OpenAI also announced Codex, a general availability coding agent, and new real-time voice and image models that reduce costs while maintaining quality. As OpenAI positions itself with robust tools for developers, discovering new applications may pose challenges, prompting inquiries about competition and functionality within the ChatGPT ecosystem.
