In business automation

An SDK provides libraries and helper tools for using a service from code. It can simplify authentication, requests, and response handling, but it does not remove API limitations or the responsibility to handle errors.

Examples

These examples illustrate a possible workflow. Adapt the connections and rules to your own systems.

Business process example

A developer adds a call to an AI service to a workflow using the official library. They set a timeout, check for network failures, and save the result in the format expected by the next step.

Relevant tools

OpenAI Agents SDK
A development library for agents and tools, intended for integration into code rather than replacing the planning process.

What to check
