OpenAI said on Thursday it will acquire startup Ona, which supplies secure,
preconfigured cloud environments that let AI agents access tools, systems and
contextual data. OpenAI said Ona’s tech will enable its programming assistant
Codex to run longer-duration tasks and help more organizations deploy agents
into production to autonomously perform tasks on users’ behalf. Terms were not
disclosed. Ona employees will join OpenAI’s Codex team.
