"Basis is on the frontier of building production‑grade, long‑horizon agents. They've pushed the limits of what we thought our models could do on real‑world, economically valuable, complex accounting tasks. They've been a great collaborator in helping us shape what the future of agents looks like." — Prashant Mital, Applied AI Lead, OpenAI
