{% embed url="https://storage.googleapis.com/arize-phoenix-assets/assets/gifs/openai_sdk_rn.gif" %}
We've introduced the **OpenAI Agents SDK** for Python which provides enhanced visibility into agent behavior and performance.
**Installation**
```
pip install openinference-instrumentation-openai-agents openai-agents
```
* Includes an OpenTelemetry Instrumentor that traces agents, LLM calls, tool usage, and handoffs.
* With minimal setup, use the `register` function to connect your app to Phoenix and view real-time traces of agent workflows.
For more details on a quick setup, check out our integration documentation:
