OpenAI is retiring Agent Builder and recommends moving workflows into code with its Agents SDK. Autohive keeps the visual canvas: triggers, agent steps, loops, spreadsheet rows and approval steps, with no code to maintain.
Describe the job and Agent Creator builds the agent. The people who run the process can change it themselves, without waiting for a developer or a deploy.
Run OpenAI's latest models in Autohive alongside Claude, Gemini, Grok and open-source models, chosen per agent and mixed in one workflow.
OpenAI is winding down Agent Builder, and from 30 November 2026 it will no longer be available on the OpenAI platform. Autohive gives the same kind of workflow a permanent, no-code home. Here's how they compare today.

OpenAI says Agent Builder and Evals will no longer be available on its platform from 30 November 2026. It recommends the Agents SDK for workflows that should continue as code, and workspace agents in ChatGPT for prompt-based use.
Yes. Autohive workflows have triggers, agent steps, loops, spreadsheet rows and approval steps, all without code. Bring one to a 20-minute call and we'll rebuild it with you.
Yes. Autohive includes OpenAI's current models, including GPT-6.1 Sol, alongside Claude, Gemini, Grok and open-source models. You choose the model for each agent.
No. Agent Creator builds an agent from a plain-language description, and the people who run a process can change its workflow themselves. There's no code to host or deploy.
Autohive is SOC 2 Type II attested, encrypts data in transit and at rest, keeps an audit log of actions by people and agents, and never uses your data to train AI models.
