Codex for (almost) everything
Summary
Codex, an AI tool used by over 3 million developers weekly, has received a major update that lets it operate computers directly by seeing, clicking, and typing, generate images, remember user preferences, and integrate with 90+ developer tools and apps. The update adds features like background computer use (where the AI can work on your Mac without interfering with your own work), an in-app browser for web development, image generation, and the ability to schedule long-term tasks across multiple days or weeks. These improvements are designed to help developers move faster through all stages of software development, from writing code to reviewing changes, all within one workspace.
