We are acquiring Promptfoo, an AI security platform enabling businesses to identify and address vulnerabilities in their AI systems during development.
As companies start using AI co-workers in daily work, evaluation, security, and compliance are essential. Businesses need reliable ways to test agent behavior, spot risks before launch, and help clear records for supervision and accountability.
Led by Ian Webster and Michael DeAngelo, the Promptfoo team has built strong tools. More than 25% of Fortune 500 companies use them. The company also offers a popular open source CLI and library for testing LLM applications. We will continue investing in and supporting the open-source project. Ongoing updates and community involvement will continue. We will also partner to improve enterprise features in Frontier.
Promptfoo brings engineering to the evaluation, security, and testing of AI systems at scale. Their work helps businesses deploy secure and reliable AI applications. We look forward to integrating these capabilities into Frontier.

We plan to expand multiple key features for businesses building agents on Frontier.
- Security and safety testing will be built into Frontier. Automated checks will look for risks like prompt injections, jailbreaks, data leaks, tool misuse, and policy violations.
- Security and evaluation will be part of the development process. Frontier will work with workflows to quickly spot, investigate, and fix agent risks. Security will be a key part of building and running enterprise AI systems.
- Frontier will include built-in reporting and traceability for documentation monitoring and compliance.
Promptfoo was created to provide developers with practical advice on securing AI systems. This is important as agents connect to real data and systems. Ensuring their security and validation is more important than ever. By joining OpenAI, we aim to accelerate this mission. We plan to bring advanced security, safety, and governance features to teams building AI systems.
Ian Webster, Co-Founder and CEO, Promptfoo
We are excited to become the Promptfoo team. We will keep building the secure, reliable AI tools businesses need.
