    OpenAI has launched OpenAI Presence, an enterprise-grade AI agent deployment product that pairs model reasoning with configurable policies, guardrails, escalation rules, and a Codex-powered continuous improvement loop. The product targets high-value production workflows—customer support, outbound sales, insurance claims, IT service requests—where reliability and policy compliance are non-negotiable. OpenAI's own English-language phone support channel runs on Presence, resolving 75% of inbound issues without human assistance and reducing human handoffs by 15 percentage points in 10 days after launch. Presence is currently available to eligible enterprise customers through a limited general availability program led by OpenAI Forward Deployed Engineers and select global systems integrators, and is not yet self-serve.
