OpenAI turned agent operations into an engineer-led enterprise product.
OpenAI launched Presence for voice and chat agents that use company systems, take approved actions, and escalate to people. The product is limited to eligible enterprise customers, is led by forward-deployed engineers and selected integrators, and is not self-serve.

OpenAI describes the product as proven and trusted, but it disclosed no pricing, customer count, comparative failure rate, or independently measured outcome. The labor effect also depends on whether agents resolve work or simply move supervision and exception handling elsewhere.
Public pricing, independent reliability data, customer retention, incident and escalation rates, how much work stays with human operators, and whether systems integrators become a durable distribution layer or a temporary bridge.
