OpenAI is set to launch Agent Builder, a game-changer for workflow building
OpenAI plans to release the Agent Builder tool at its developer day, allowing users to build agent workflows by integrating MCP and ChatKit components. The interface's smoothness has received praise, but this also poses a challenge to existing tools like n8n.
OpenAI is about to make a big splash at its developer day.
Agent Builder, to put it simply, is a visual workflow editor. It lets you drag and drop components, connect them in a line, and string together MCP, ChatKit widgets, and other tools.

The interface features a dark theme, with a column of options on the left: file search, logic operations, etc. On the right, you configure the agent's name and parameters. Arrows connect the various nodes, making the workflow clear at a glance. TestingCatalog has rated this as one of the smoothest agent canvases they've used.
Someone directly asked: Is this meant to take down n8n?
The product from the Berlin-based team is highly anticipated, but the competition is fierce. Google has Opal, and there are established players like Zapier and Make. However, OpenAI's move is intriguing—it could become the first AI super-app, similar to the all-in-one apps popular in Asia.
The key breakthrough might be building workflows with prompts. Unlike traditional tools, automation becomes more conversational. Some envision GPT directly helping you create agents, which is a great idea.
But don't get too optimistic. Initially, user-generated workflows might not be very effective. A more practical application could be internal tool development, similar to Claude's Artifacts feature.
We'll see what happens tomorrow.
