OpenAI reportedly set to launch AI agent 'Aeon' at DevDay 2026
Ahead of its 2026 DevDay event, OpenAI is rumored to be preparing to release a continuously running AI agent called Aeon, aiming to compete with rivals such as Meta's Muse, SpaceX's Grok Bot, OpenClaw, and Instinct. The report notes OpenAI has lagged in the consumer agent race despite demoing agentic features in 2024 and releasing early computer-use and research agents in 2025.
