OpenAI has announced that its coding app Codex will be released for MacOS and can perform tasks via multiple AI agents.
OpenAI is expanding its programming agent Codex with a separate macOS app that can control multiple AI assistants simultaneously to perform more complex development tasks.
Race game with one prompt
Codex started as OpenAI’s answer to coding apps like Claude Code, but is now growing ‘into a platform that can distribute tasks across different models’. OpenAI demonstrates this with an example: developers have created a racing game with Codex using a single prompt. Codex then set to work with various tools, workflows, and tasks to create the game. “Codex took on the role of game designer, developer, and tester,” OpenAI writes in an announcement.
New features
The new app introduces a ‘Skills’ section, where developers can bundle workflows, scripts, and integrations. Codex can automatically apply these skills or use them on request. There is also an automation feature that allows repetitive tasks to be scheduled, such as summarizing errors and generating release notes.
Codex is temporarily available in the free and Go versions of ChatGPT to discover the possibilities of the software. At the same time, OpenAI is doubling the prices for Plus and Pro subscriptions.
