Make Now Supports OpenAI GPT-5.5 for Agent Work and Multi-Step Automations.

Make announced on LinkedIn that it now supports OpenAI's GPT-5.5 model across its platform. The integration gives users three distinct ways to access the model, which OpenAI has positioned for agent work, multi-step automations, and tasks requiring long-context understanding.

The timing reflects Make's strategy of rapid model adoption. The company has consistently rolled out support for new AI models within days of their release, most recently adding GPT-5.4 Mini and Nano models in March. GPT-5.5 represents a step up in complexity, designed specifically for workflows that require multi-step reasoning and extended context windows.

Make is offering GPT-5.5 through three different pathways, each suited to different user needs and technical setups.

The Make AI Toolkit provides the most frictionless option. Users can access GPT-5.5 with zero setup and no API key required. This approach removes technical barriers for teams that want to experiment with the model without managing credentials or billing directly with OpenAI.

For users who prefer structured prompts and direct control over their API usage, the OpenAI (ChatGPT) app integration requires bringing your own API key. This method gives teams more granular control over costs and usage patterns, particularly useful for organizations with existing OpenAI billing arrangements.

The third option, Make AI Agents, is designed for building agentic workflows. Make has been expanding its AI Agents capabilities over recent months, introducing a real-time chat interface for testing and adding MCP Toolboxes to give agents controlled access to workflows. GPT-5.5's focus on multi-step reasoning aligns directly with these agent-based automations.

OpenAI has positioned GPT-5.5 as a flagship model for tasks that require extended reasoning and context retention. Unlike lighter models optimized for speed and cost, GPT-5.5 is built for workflows where accuracy and depth matter more than response time.

In practice, this means GPT-5.5 should handle tasks like analyzing lengthy documents, maintaining context across multiple automation steps, and executing complex decision trees more reliably than previous models. For Make users building customer support automations, content analysis pipelines, or data enrichment workflows, the model's long-context capabilities could reduce the need to break complex tasks into smaller chunks.

The agent-focused design also suggests GPT-5.5 will perform better in scenarios where the AI needs to make decisions across multiple steps without human intervention. This fits naturally into Make's scenario builder, where users can chain together dozens of modules and conditions.

Make's quick adoption of GPT-5.5 reflects broader competition in the automation space. Platforms like Zapier and n8n have similarly raced to integrate new AI models as they launch. For users, the speed of integration matters, especially as organizations standardize on specific models for internal workflows.

The announcement comes as Make continues to build out its AI capabilities. Beyond model support, the platform has been shipping features like Scenario Recovery to prevent lost work and Make Grid for visualizing automation landscapes. The integration of GPT-5.5 fits into this trajectory, giving users access to more powerful AI within familiar workflows.

Users can start using GPT-5.5 in Make today through any of the three integration methods. More details are available in Make's announcement.
