Who it is for
Existing users and administrators evaluating Agents API computer use.
What feels promising
Agents API adds hosted computer use for agents interacting with software.
What feels unproven
New hosted browser capability. Source review completed October 1, 2026. No new hands-on test, paid API request, independent benchmark or account-specific access check was performed for this backfill. Vendor results remain attributed. Existing dated tests and relationship disclosures remain in linked Kingy coverage; this record makes no new relationship attestation. Dated commercial disclosure: Curtis stated on September 12, 2026 that Kingy had no OpenAI relationship, contact, payment or benefit. This retained statement is not a new confirmation.
