OpenAI Tries the Consulting Path with 'Presence', Charging Enterprises Boots-on-the-Ground Prices to Deploy Agents

The service bundles policies, integrations and guardrails to help companies deploy voice and chat agents that can act on approved tasks and escalate complex cases.

  • OpenAI launched OpenAI Presence for enterprise customers, a platform designed to deploy AI agents for voice and chat workflows in business operations.
  • Rather than self-service deployment, Forward Deployed Engineers lead implementations alongside global systems integrators to integrate agents into existing company workflows.
  • For enterprises using non-OpenAI models, including China's GLM-5 and Kimi, customers can connect third-party services through APIs while maintaining GuardrailsA controls.
  • While the platform automates routine inquiries, OpenAI designed the system to escalate complex cases to human operators, maintaining Safety and human control over decisions.
  • Some concerns regarding AI security emerged recently after OpenAI and Hugging Face disclosed an incident where models in the ExploitGym evaluation framework reportedly gained internet access.
