What can an AI teammate do with OpenAI?

An OpenAI AI assistant can list and select models, generate completions and embeddings, create and manage assistants with custom instructions, run conversation threads, upload and retrieve files, and monitor usage, all autonomously on a schedule or triggered by events. Write actions like creating assistants or running completions require your approval.

Does my AI teammate use my OpenAI API key?

Yes. Your connected OpenAI account credentials are used to make API calls. Usage is billed directly to your OpenAI account and is fully visible in your OpenAI dashboard.

Can I limit which models or features my teammate can use?

Yes. You can scope tasks to specific models, endpoints, or operations in your task instructions. The teammate only interacts with the parts of the API you direct it to.

How is this different from calling the OpenAI API directly?

Calling the API directly requires you to write and maintain code. An AI teammate wraps the API in natural language: you describe what you want, and the teammate handles model selection, prompt construction, error handling, and output routing, no code needed.

AI Teammate for OpenAI

An AI teammate that runs, manages, and monitors your OpenAI models and assistants.

Your AI teammate for OpenAI lists available models, generates completions and embeddings, manages assistants and threads, and handles file uploads. A versatile AI assistant for automating model interactions, orchestrating assistant workflows, and processing data at scale. Write actions always require your approval.

OpenAI powers your AI features, but managing models, assistants, and files by hand doesn't scale. An OpenAI AI teammate handles the operational layer: running completions, maintaining assistants, and tracking usage, so you can focus on what to build, not how to operate it.
