OpenAI announced the Decisions API at DevDay on September 29, describing it as a way to make bounded decisions from user-defined questions and a finite set of answers. Developers can provide context as text or images and use the result to classify content, route a request, or choose an agent’s next action.

Keep the choice set explicit

Rather than asking a general-purpose model for an unrestricted response, the announced API focuses Luna’s intelligence on a specific decision and its predefined answers. That makes the feature relevant to agent workflows where an application needs a constrained choice, such as selecting a route or deciding which next step to run.

OpenAI described the API as being in limited preview at the time of the announcement and said a broader release was planned in the coming days.
