OpenAI Frontier is a new enterprise AI agent platform that helps businesses build, deploy, manage, and orchestrate fleets of AI agents that can perform real work inside existing systems, workflows, and data environments. It provides a unified framework where organizations can integrate AI agents, whether created by OpenAI or third parties, connect them with internal tools like CRM, data warehouses, ticketing systems, and other enterprise applications, and give them shared context, permissions, memory, and oversight so they can act reliably on business-relevant tasks. Frontier’s goal is to move AI agents from isolated pilots into production by providing features like shared business context, governance controls, onboarding workflows, observability, and secure access boundaries while allowing companies to centralize and scale intelligent automation in a way similar to how HR systems manage human work.

Paperclip is an open-source AI agent orchestration platform that enables individuals and organizations to build, manage, and govern teams of autonomous AI agents working toward shared business objectives. Rather than interacting with isolated AI tools, users define company-level goals, assign specialized AI agents to different roles, and oversee execution through a centralized organizational structure. The platform supports agents from multiple providers and runtimes, allowing businesses to coordinate development, marketing, research, operations, content creation, and other workflows through a unified management system. With built-in governance, budgeting, audit trails, and goal alignment, Paperclip helps organizations scale AI-driven work while maintaining transparency and control.

Herdr is a terminal-based runtime and multiplexer for developers who run AI coding agents, shells, tests, and other command-line tools. It organizes work into workspaces, tabs, and panes managed by a background server, so processes can keep running when a client disconnects. Users can reattach locally or connect to Herdr on other machines over SSH. The software detects supported coding agents and displays whether they are working, blocked, idle, or done; integrations can preserve native agent sessions after a server restart. Its CLI and local socket API let scripts and agents inspect sessions, manage panes, start or prompt agents, and wait for state changes. Developers can configure keybindings and themes and extend workflows with local executable plugins. Herdr is installed on macOS, Linux, or Windows and is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
