OpenAI just announced Frontier, their new enterprise platform. Build your agents here, deploy them here, manage them here. “AI coworkers” that accumulate memories and context inside OpenAI’s walls. Microsoft is doing the same with Copilot, which has quietly become an entire operating system for enterprise AI. The message from both is clear: everything you need is here. Safe. Managed. Ours.
Life inside walls is safe but dull. Ask Copilot.
The thing is, we’re at a moment where the technology moves so fast that locking into a single vendor’s AI stack feels reckless. In the last few months we moved most of our work from OpenAI to Anthropic. Not because OpenAI is bad, but because Claude turned out to be better for what we do. In a few months we might move again. The point is that we can.
We can because we own our prompts, our skills, our databases, our memory architecture, they all live in our bar. None of it lives inside OpenAI or Anthropic. When we moved, we rewired the model layer and everything else stayed put. That’s the whole trick, really. If you control the pieces that make your agents smart, switching the engine underneath is just plumbing.
Any decision maker signing up for a single-vendor AI platform right now is making a bet they don’t need to make. The landscape changes every quarter. The smart play is boring infrastructure that lets you move when you need to.
It’s still time for free AI love. Don’t let anyone build walls around you.
PS: I have to say, I loved Dave Frontier more.
