Costa Mesa – October 20, 2026 -- Tepia Co., Inc., a custom software developer with more than 13 years of engineering experience, has been named an OpenAI Select Partner within the OpenAI Partner Network, giving the California firm a formal channel to deploy OpenAI models in client mobile, web, and backend systems.
OpenAI Partner Network targets enterprise adoption of frontier models
The OpenAI Partner Network is a global program for partners to build, sell, and deliver AI solutions with OpenAI. It combines partners' industry expertise, delivery capabilities, and customer relationships with resources, enablement, and support. The aim is to help enterprises adopt OpenAI frontier models and products and convert them into measurable impact.
Under the Select Partner status, Tepia will work with OpenAI to help organizations build, deploy, and scale AI solutions. The work is intended to help companies apply GPT-6 Astra across more of their business, using deeper reasoning and computer use to complete complex workflows and deliver finished work.
Tepia plans to integrate OpenAI models into existing client systems
Tepia's AI services cover four areas:
- Assistants grounded in company data through retrieval augmented generation (RAG)
- AI agents and automated workflows
- Vector databases
- Dedicated AI service layers
Each deployment includes evaluation, access controls, logging, and human oversight where needed.
Brianna Martinson, Director of Engineering at Tepia, said the goal is to move clients' AI efforts out of the pilot stage and into real products and workflows that save time, improve customer experiences, and create measurable business value.
Cloud and legacy engineering base supports AI rollout
Tepia builds and maintains custom mobile apps, web platforms, backend services, and cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Its capabilities also include DevOps, system integrations, automated testing, IoT, and software modernization. The company says this foundation lets it add AI to the systems and workflows a business already runs.
