OpenAI Launches Codex Apps on macOS, Manage Multiple AI Agents in One Platform

JAKARTA - OpenAI officially launched the Codex application for macOS, a new desktop interface that allows developers to perform many tasks, manage long-term projects, and expand AI-based collaboration.

In its announcement, the company said that the Codex application is designed as a centralized interface that serves to direct, supervise, and collaborate with many AI agents at one time.

OpenAI is also expanding Codex's functionality through the Skills feature, which allows AI agents not only to write code, but also to run other workflows such as research, document writing, project management, and application deployment.

"Skills combine instructions, resources, and scripts so that Codex can reliably connect to various tools, run workflows, and complete tasks according to your team's preferences," the announcement reads.

As an example of Codex's capabilities, OpenAI showed Codex's ability to build a web-based 3D racing game using Three.js from just one initial prompt.

In the process, Codex used more than 7 million tokens and took on the role of designer, developer, and quality tester.

In terms of security, the Codex app implements an open source and configurable system-level sandboxing. By default, agents can only edit files in certain folders or branches, and must ask for permission to run commands.

The Codex app is available starting today for macOS users. ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu users can access Codex in the app, web, CLI, and IDE extensions at no additional cost, with the option to purchase additional credits if needed.

Going forward, OpenAI plans to bring the Codex app to Windows, improve inference performance, and expand cloud-based automation support.
