4 Mar
Summary
- AI agent processes plain-English queries for data analysis.
- Tool uses AI for over 70% of its code, built in three months.
- Over 4,000 of 5,000 employees use the data agent daily.

OpenAI has implemented an advanced AI data agent that significantly enhances employee access to its extensive data infrastructure. This innovative tool allows over 4,000 of OpenAI's approximately 5,000 employees to query 600 petabytes of data using natural language prompts. The agent, with over 70% of its code generated by AI, dramatically reduces analysis time from hours to minutes.
Developed by OpenAI's data infrastructure team, the agent integrates seamlessly into daily workflows via Slack, web interfaces, and IDEs. It generates charts, dashboards, and analytical reports, enabling teams like finance, product, and engineering to extract sophisticated insights. A key feature is its ability to operate across organizational boundaries, unifying disparate data sources for comprehensive analysis.
