OpenAI unveils major Codex updates

The new features for Codex allow the AI to use a computer in the background, providing visual feedback through an in-app browser while building websites.

OpenAI executives described these updates as the 'first phase' of a planned desktop super app that will eventually integrate ChatGPT and the Atlas web browser.

The enhanced Codex can now run multiple agents across different applications, aiming to streamline complex professional workflows.

This development follows reports that OpenAI is shifting its focus toward high-value business users to maintain its lead in the generative AI market.
