OpenAI announces Frontier Alliance Partners

The limiting factor for seeing value from AI in enterprises isn’t model intelligence, it’s how agents are built and run in their organizations. We recently introduced Frontier⁠, our platform for building, deploying, and managing AI coworkers that can do real work across the enterprise. For example, an AI coworker that resolves a customer issue end-to-end by pulling context from the CRM, checking policies, filing the update, and escalating only when needed. 

Frontier provides the technical foundation. But making real impact with AI also requires leadership alignment, workflow redesign, integration across systems and data, as well as the kind of change management that drives adoption. 

Today, we’re announcing our Frontier Alliances. Boston Consulting Group (BCG)⁠(opens in a new window) and McKinsey & Company⁠(opens in a new window) as well as Accenture⁠(opens in a new window) and Capgemini⁠(opens in a new window) will help customers define strategy, integrate systems, redesign workflows, and scale deployment globally. We’re entering multi-year partnerships with each firm to help deploy AI coworkers across the enterprise.

Our partners will work alongside OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team, combining OpenAI’s research and product expertise with deep transformation experience and global delivery teams. Each partner is investing in dedicated practice groups and building teams that will be certified on OpenAI technology. OpenAI will support them with technical resources, roadmap insight, and access to our product and research teams.
