Overview
OpenAI provides APIs for GPT models used in assistants, classification, extraction, and content workflows. The product is not a business system by itself—value comes from embedding models into your CRM, support, or internal tools with guardrails. PMD typically wraps OpenAI in Make, n8n, or custom Node/Python services.
