Codex for (almost) everything
Codex gains background computer use, an in-app browser, 90+ plugins, image generation, memory and self-scheduling automations.
Moves Codex beyond coding. It can operate any Mac app with its own cursor in parallel with the user, schedule follow-up work across days, and review pull requests. On 2026-06-02 OpenAI reported over 5 million weekly Codex users, with knowledge workers about 20% of them.
