OpenAI has announced plans to acquire Promptfoo, an AI security platform that helps companies test and secure their AI systems during development. The move aims to make AI coworkers safer and more reliable for businesses that are increasingly using them in real-world workflows. Once the acquisition is completed, Promptfoo’s technology will be integrated into OpenAI Frontier, a platform for building and managing AI-powered assistants, also known as AI coworkers.
SurveyWhy the acquisition matters
As more companies are now using AI agents for real work, ensuring their safety and reliability has become very important. ‘As enterprises deploy AI coworkers into real workflows, evaluation, security, and compliance become foundational requirements. Enterprises need systematic ways to test agent behaviour, detect risks before deployment, and maintain clear records to support oversight, governance, and accountability over time,’ OpenAI explained in its announcement.

With Promptfoo’s technology integrated into Frontier, enterprises will be able to run automated security tests directly within the platform. These tests will help detect risks such as prompt injections, jailbreaks, data leaks, tool misuse, and out-of-policy agent behaviours.
OpenAI also plans to make security and evaluation a core part of the development workflow. This means companies will be able to identify and fix potential problems while building their AI systems instead of dealing with them after deployment.

Another key feature will be improved monitoring and reporting. Organisations will be able to document tests, monitor changes over time, and more.
‘We’re excited to welcome the Promptfoo team and continue building the tools enterprises need to deploy secure, reliable AI,’ OpenAI said.
