OpenAI, Ironclad train AI agents on contract work
OpenAI and Ironclad are teaming up to teach AI agents how to handle complex contracting workflows, a key step toward making "computer use" practical for professional work. Computer use refers to AI systems that can operate software and complete tasks on a computer the way a person would, rather than just answering questions. By training and evaluating these agents on real contracting tasks, the two companies aim to show how AI can take on detailed, multi-step office work. According to OpenAI, this effort is part of a broader push to move AI agents beyond simple chat responses into handling the kind of intricate, document-heavy processes that many businesses rely on every day.
