What changed

OpenAI's September 29 API changelog adds computer use to the Agents API. Agents can work in an OpenAI-hosted browser; the integrating application handles website-access approvals and sign-in. This is an addition to the API, not its original launch.

What it means for your workflow

SaveMyToken editorial take

Budget for the application work around a browser agent: authentication, approval handling, and a clear way for users to review the result.
