Elastic N.V. announced an expanded collaboration with OpenAI Inc. to help organizations build production-ready AI applications and agents using OpenAI models with Elasticsearch. The partnership combines Elasticsearch's retrieval, search, and governance capabilities with OpenAI's advanced reasoning models to ground AI in enterprise data. Elastic N.V. provides the retrieval layer, combining lexical and vector search, semantic reranking, filtering, and access controls in a single platform, which helps agents find relevant, real-time context with the right permissions, reducing unnecessary data sent to the model and improving retrieval quality with lower token costs. The companies will focus on three customer outcomes: context-aware AI agents that retrieve accurate, permission-aware enterprise knowledge; agentic observability that correlates telemetry and accelerates root cause investigation for SRE teams; and agentic security operations that turn high volumes of alerts into evidence-backed investigations. Elastic N.V. has supported OpenAI models through AI Assistants and connectors since 2023. Through the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, Elastic N.V. plans to integrate OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 Cyber specific models into Elastic Security agentic workflows and extend governance to the OpenAI platform. For developers using OpenAI Codex, Elastic N.V. will develop integration points providing governed, real-time access to unstructured enterprise data. Developers can get started by connecting OpenAI models with Elasticsearch using Elastic AI Assistants, Agent Builder, and MCP integrations.
