OpenAI is acquiring Ona to help grow Codex in taking on longer running tasks.
As Codex becomes more capable, its most valuable work is unfolding over hours or days, rather than minutes, OpenAI said.
Ona’s technology will help OpenAI secure, persistent environments where agents can access the tools, systems and context they need to make progress over time.
With Ona, OpenAI, will be able to expand Codex beyond work tied to a single device or active session and help more organizations deploy agents securely in production.
