Decisions API is now in public beta. It provides a dedicated endpoint and developer workflow for building deterministic, model-driven decision-making into applications, combining reasoning-focused models with structured outputs, streaming, and background execution. The API surfaces decisions alongside concise rationales and integrates with tools, file inputs, and multi-agent setups so apps can call external services, perform retrieval, or run tool chains as part of a decision flow. It supports realtime and voice integrations, webhooks for asynchronous handling, and options for compaction and token counting to help control cost and throughput.

The beta is documented alongside SDKs, a CLI, and broader platform features for agents, tools, and production deployment. Coverage includes model selection and pricing considerations, prompts and best practices for reasoning, safety and governance controls, rate limits and observability, and migration paths from legacy APIs. Targeted use cases include voice-driven assistants, commerce and agent orchestration, and workflows that require auditable, reproducible choices. The documentation provides API reference, examples, and operational guidance to implement Decisions in both exploratory builds and production environments.
