OpenAI has launched Presence, a deployment platform for AI agents that handle customer support and internal requests across voice and chat, with built-in policy enforcement, guardrails, and continuous improvement via code review. The system is in limited general availability for enterprise customers and already resolves 75% of OpenAI's own support calls without human intervention.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and Enterprise Software. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ The Wire takeaway
OpenAI just became a competitor to every customer support and IT service desk vendor - and it's selling not a model but a deployment platform that runs in your systems. If you're building agent orchestration, RAG connectors, or policy enforcement for enterprise automation, you now have a named buyer with a working reference case at 75% automation.
