OpenAI is reportedly gearing up to launch a suite of specialized AI “agent” products that could cost users as much as $20,000 per month, according to The Information.
The planned products would be tailored to distinct applications, ranging from sorting and ranking sales leads to assisting with software engineering tasks and supporting advanced academic research.
The Information’s report indicates that OpenAI intends to offer several agent tiers. Among them, a “high-income knowledge worker” agent is expected to be priced at around $2,000 per month, while a software developer-focused agent could command a price tag of approximately $10,000 per month. The most expensive tier, targeting tasks such as supporting PhD-level research, would be offered at up to $20,000 per month.
While the timeline for launching these agent tools remains unclear, The Information noted that eligibility criteria for potential customers have not yet been disclosed. In a related development, SoftBank, one of OpenAI’s investors, has reportedly committed to spending $3 billion on these agent products during the current year—a move that underscores the strategic importance of these offerings for OpenAI’s long-term revenue plans.
OpenAI’s push into specialized agent products comes as the company seeks to offset financial challenges. Last year, OpenAI incurred losses of roughly $5 billion, partly due to the high costs associated with running its expansive suite of services and ongoing research and development.
As the market for artificial intelligence tools continues to expand, the introduction of these specialized agents could provide businesses and research institutions with tailored solutions for complex tasks. However, industry observers remain cautious about the price points, which may limit adoption to larger organizations or high-value sectors.
OpenAI has not yet commented on the reports, but its previous statements have consistently emphasized a commitment to innovation and ethical AI development. The upcoming agent products, if launched as reported, could mark a significant evolution in how advanced AI tools are monetized and integrated into professional workflows.
