Zapier vs. OpenAI Frontier: What's the difference?

OpenAI Frontier is an enterprise platform designed to bridge the gap between AI capabilities and practical deployment by facilitating the development, deployment, and management of AI agents within business systems. It creates a semantic layer that integrates siloed enterprise systems, enhances agent execution through code and tool interaction, and continuously optimizes agent performance through evaluation loops. Although currently invitation-only and requiring significant integration efforts, Frontier is tailored for complex workflows across industries such as energy, manufacturing, life sciences, banking, and communications, emphasizing security and governance. In contrast, Zapier Enterprise provides a broader, readily available platform for automation with thousands of pre-built integrations and support for multiple AI models, offering a versatile solution for businesses seeking to deploy AI and automation workflows without extensive IT involvement.
