OpenAI buys the agent. You keep the license.

OpenAI's deal closes in March. The e-file authorization, the payroll licenses and the guarantee stay in Mountain View.

The Buyer: $60 billion, in stock. ChatGPT will wear the TurboTax name every April. It suits us.

OMNI: Welcome aboard. I'll handle the refunds. You handle the audits.

OMNI: A fair split, I think. I keep the hugs.

Outcome: Settled for plumbing

You sold the agent while a lab still wanted it. What stayed needs a license: e-file, payroll and the guarantee. Small, regulated and enough.
