A look at the training, guides, and in-person events in OpenAI's July announcement—with the original source linked.

The announcement

On July 21, 2026, OpenAI announced a small-business program that includes product-specific virtual training, in-person small-business AI academies, guides, and partner resources.

What a business owner can look at

The announcement describes webinars with small-business examples and exercises. It also links to event and registration pages. Check those original pages for current schedules, eligibility, and availability rather than assuming an event is offered locally.

What this brief does not claim

This is a summary of OpenAI's announcement, not an independent test of its products or an endorsement of its advertised performance. IPF's own classes are separate; no partnership with OpenAI is claimed.
