OpenAI's Codex Update Enables Background Computer Use
OpenAI has released a new version of its Codex desktop app, introducing features that allow the app to perform tasks in the background without interfering with the user's current activities. This update includes the ability for Codex to use all apps on a computer by simulating user actions like clicking and typing. It also introduces scheduling capabilities, enabling Codex to plan and execute tasks at specified times. Additionally, the app now features an in-app web browser for real-time feedback on web tasks and the ability to generate images using gpt-image-1.5. These enhancements aim to expand Codex's utility beyond developer tasks to broader knowledge work.
