OpenAI just launched Frontier — and the pitch isn't "here's a smarter chatbot." It's "here's a platform to hire, manage, and deploy AI agents as digital co-workers." They're using HR language on purpose. Because that's what this is. Frank and Michael break down what Frontier means for small business, even though it's enterprise-only today.

What we cover:

- What OpenAI Frontier actually is: an org chart, HR system, and compliance layer for AI
- Why "hire, onboard, assign, give feedback" is the new AI vocabulary
- The pattern: what Fortune 500 gets today, small business gets in 12-18 months
- The race to own the agent management layer: OpenAI, Anthropic, Salesforce, Microsoft
- How Ctrl AI Profit has been running an AI org chart since episode one
- Why the question is shifting from "should I use AI?" to "how do I manage my AI team?"
- Connection to Matt Shumer's prediction: agents will replace SaaS

You don't need Frontier today. But you need to start thinking about AI operations like a team, not a toolbox.
