OpenAI opens Presence to qualifying enterprises for production agent rollouts
OpenAI opened Presence to qualifying enterprise customers only — not an open product — covering use-case selection, system integration, guideline configuration, and testing through production launch, with Forward Deployed Engineers stepping in when a case exceeds what Presence handles alone. This is a services offering rather than a new capability: nothing new ships for developers to build against, and OpenAI's answer on compliance rules such as the EU AI Act stops at references to trust mechanisms with no legal specifics.

When a use case goes beyond what Presence can handle out of the box, OpenAI's Forward Deployed Engineers step in.

Why this matters
- → Enterprise agents move from prototype to production; OpenAI is the service layer.
- → Compliance path (EU AI Act) still unspecified — legal risk deferred to customer.
- → Closed offering to qualifying enterprises only; no open product for builders.
