Today, we’re announcing a new collaboration with Deutsche Telekom to bring advanced AI capabilities to millions of people across Europe and to support their teams with the most capable tools from OpenAI.

Deutsche Telekom serves more than 261 million mobile customers worldwide. Their global reach will combine with OpenAI frontier research to make AI more useful and accessible in everyday life.

With OpenAI, Deutsche Telekom will work to create simple, multilingual, and privacy-first AI experiences that help people communicate, learn, and get things done. These will begin rolling out in 2026.

Because more than 800 million people use ChatGPT every week, many Deutsche Telekom customers already understand how AI works—allowing the company to deliver new AI-powered products faster and more easily.

Deutsche Telekom will introduce ChatGPT Enterprise across the company, giving employees secure access to OpenAI’s best tools to improve customer care, streamline workflows, and accelerate innovation.

Deutsche Telekom will also use AI more deeply in network operations and employee copilots as the company moves toward more autonomous, self-optimizing systems. The collaboration will help make AI more helpful, secure, and accessible across Europe.

Deutsche Telekom further extends OpenAI’s work with the world’s largest and most established enterprises, including Accenture, Walmart⁠(opens in a new window), Salesforce⁠(opens in a new window), PayPal⁠(opens in a new window), Intuit, Target, Thermo Fisher⁠(opens in a new window), BNY⁠(opens in a new window), Morgan Stanley, BBVA, and many more. More than 1 million business customers around the world are directly using OpenAI—the fastest-growing business platform in history.
