# OpenAI

## Profile

The artificial intelligence research laboratory and company that developed ChatGPT. In the context of this video, OpenAI is analyzed not just as a model provider, but as an **enterprise software vendor** aggressively moving to capture the [[concept-workplace-os|Workplace OS]] layer by releasing autonomous [[entity-chatgpt-workspace-agents|Workspace Agents]].

## Role in This Source

- **Subject organization** of the analysis
- Vendor of the [[concept-workspace-agents|Workspace Agents]] product covered throughout
- Strategic actor positioned against [[entity-anthropic-d6|Anthropic]]'s vertical posture (see [[question-claude-vertical-vs-horizontal]])
- Disintermediation threat to [[entity-zapier|Zapier]], [[entity-make|Make]], [[entity-workato|Workato]], [[entity-n8n|n8n]] (see [[claim-agents-compete-with-zapier]])
