Introduction to OpenAI Agent Builder

"On top of that, OpenAI introduced a Connector Registry, a centralized place for managing all your data connections and integrations across OpenAI products. This registry aims to solve a long-standing pain point: fragmented connections. In other words, you'll finally have a clear overview of what connectors are active in your workspace. The registry already includes popular integrations like Dropbox, Google Drive, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams, plus support for third-party MCPs (Model Context Protocols)."

"For example, imagine connecting your Figma design to ChatGPT via MCP and create the agent that will audit your design file on each change and provide accessibility or layout feedback - this will make design audit automatic step in your design workflow. That's a genuinely exciting capability. Why OpenAI Agent Builder won't kill Zaper, Make and n8n Despite the hype, there are 3 reasons why Agent Builder won't replace these automation tools anytime soon."

OpenAI introduced a Connector Registry to centralize data connections and integrations across OpenAI products, reducing fragmented connections and providing a clear overview of active workspace connectors. The registry includes integrations such as Dropbox, Google Drive, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams, and adds support for third-party MCPs (Model Context Protocols). MCP support enables direct deep integrations, such as connecting Figma to ChatGPT to create agents that audit design files on each change and provide accessibility or layout feedback. Agent Builder currently has limited determinism and is LLM-centric, making it better for experimentation and lightweight orchestration than enterprise-grade automation tools.
