We Are an OpenAI Select Partner: Get a Free AI Demo Built

Rex Automaton is an OpenAI Select Partner. We are putting our 2026 partner credits into free working demos for businesses. Here is what you get and how to claim one.

By Jacky Lei

Rex Automaton is an OpenAI Select Partner, and OpenAI has just turned on our partner benefits for the 2026 program year: API credits plus a dedicated ChatGPT Enterprise workspace, set aside specifically for building proofs of concept and demos for prospective customers. So that is exactly what we are going to do with them. If you run a business and want to see what AI would actually do for your revenue, we will build you a working demo of one automation, free.

Here is the email, with our account IDs blacked out.

The OpenAI Partner Network email confirming Rex Automaton's 2026 Select tier benefits: $1,000 in API credits, 300,000 ChatGPT and Codex credits, and approved uses including developing proofs of concept and demonstrating solutions to prospective customers. Organization ID, workspace ID and recipient address are redacted.

What the OpenAI Partner Network is

The OpenAI Partner Network is OpenAI's program for the consultancies and agencies that build on its models for other businesses. Select is the tier we hold. Partners get access to OpenAI's partner team and resources, and each program year OpenAI provisions credits that can only be spent on partner work.

The fine print in that email matters, so here it is in plain terms. The credits are not for our own internal use. They exist for five things:

  • Testing OpenAI products and capabilities
  • Building and validating customer use cases
  • Developing proofs of concept
  • Demonstrating solutions to prospective customers
  • Preparing for customer implementations and deployments

Read that list as a business owner and the last four all point at you. The credits are there to show prospective customers what is possible before they commit. That is the whole idea behind the offer below.

The offer: a free working demo of one automation

Most owners have heard plenty about AI and seen very little of it working on their own business. Slide decks and generic chatbot videos do not answer the only question that matters: would this bring in more money for me?

So we build one thing, for you, on your real process:

  1. You pick the leak. The one place money slips through the cracks today. Leads that wait hours for a reply. Quotes nobody follows up on. Calls that go to voicemail after five. Past customers who never hear from you again.
  2. We build a working demo of the fix. Not a mockup. A live version of the automation running on OpenAI's models, set up with your services, your pricing and your tone of voice.
  3. You try it yourself. We send you a link. Text it like a lead would, call it, throw your hardest customer questions at it. No sales presentation, no screen share.
  4. You decide. If it is worth building into your business, we quote the full build at a fixed price. If not, you have lost nothing and you know more than you did.

You can see the kind of thing we mean on our demos page, which has working demos we have built for real businesses across trades, clinics, retail and professional services.

What a demo usually looks like

The demos that make the clearest case are the ones that touch revenue directly:

  • A lead reply agent that answers every new web or ad lead within a minute, asks the right qualifying questions and books the job.
  • A quote follow up sequence that chases every open estimate over text and email until the customer says yes or no.
  • A missed call text back that turns a call you could not take into a conversation instead of a lost customer.
  • An AI phone agent that answers after hours, handles the common questions and puts bookings straight into your calendar.
  • A reactivation campaign that writes personal messages to past customers based on what they bought last time.

One demo covers one of these. That keeps it fast for us and focused for you.

Why we are giving these away

Two reasons, and we would rather be straight about both.

First, OpenAI provides these credits so partners can show businesses what the technology does. Spending them on demos for real owners is the use they were designed for, not a stretch of the rules.

Second, a working demo sells better than anything we could say. We have automated more than 150 businesses since 2018, and the pattern is consistent: once an owner watches the system answer their own leads, the conversation shifts from whether AI works to how quickly it can go live. A free demo is the shortest path to that moment.

The limits, so nobody is surprised

The credits are finite and so is our build time, so we take on a limited number of demos each month. They go to businesses where the demo can show a real revenue gap, which is why we start with a short assessment rather than a sign up form. Credits expire at the end of the program year on June 30, 2027, and the offer ends when they run out or when that date arrives, whichever comes first.

A demo is a demo. It proves the idea on your process; it is not a finished system wired into every tool you use. Building it into your business properly is a separate, fixed price project, and only if you want it.

How to claim yours

Start with the free revenue leak assessment. It is nine questions and takes about 90 seconds. It shows you roughly how much revenue is slipping through the cracks each month and where, and it is how we decide which demo will make the strongest case for your business. Mention the demo when you book and we will scope it with you on the call.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rex Automaton an official OpenAI partner? Yes. Rex Automaton is a member of the OpenAI Partner Network at the Select tier for the 2026 program year, which runs from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.

Does the free demo cost anything? No. The demo is free and there is no obligation to buy a build afterwards. If you want the automation built into your business, we quote that separately at a fixed price.

Do I get OpenAI credits or a ChatGPT Enterprise account? No. The partner credits stay with us and are spent on building and running your demo. You get the working demo itself, not credits or an OpenAI account.

What do I need to provide? The basics of how your business handles leads and customers today: your services, rough pricing, common questions and how you like to sound. Anything private stays private, and the demo runs on sample data unless you choose otherwise.

How many free demos are available? A limited number each month, until the 2026 partner credits run out or the program year ends on June 30, 2027. The assessment is the way in.
