# OpenAI Agents SDK

OpenAI's framework for multi-agent systems, released March 2025. Core concepts: Agents (LLM + Tools), Handoffs (agent-to-agent transfer), Guardrails (safety layers). Built-in tracing with OpenAI Dashboard. Particularly strong for structured workflows with defined agent roles.

## Business Value

Standardized framework for enterprise agent development with GPT models. Easy integration into existing OpenAI workflows.

## Context Studios Perspective

We use the OpenAI Agents SDK for clients already in the OpenAI ecosystem. The Handoffs architecture is elegant for structured multi-agent processes.
