Upcoming dates

This selection of dates names affected areas, possible consequences, and specific actions. Check the linked provider notice before changing anything. Use the archive’s status filter to find other announced dates.

OpenAI

OpenAI Agent Builder

Affected
Visual workflows in OpenAI Agent Builder
Relationship
Provider migration path: Agents SDK / ChatGPT Workspace Agents
Possible impact
Agent Builder is scheduled to end on 30 November. ChatKit remains available. An export does not guarantee identical workflow behavior.
What you can do
Export the workflow as Agents SDK code. Use it in your application or to create a Workspace Agent. The Workspace Agent route requires a ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspace with Workspace Agents access and permission to create agents. Review its tools and flow, then test the result because the export does not guarantee identical behavior.
