OpenAI Introduces the Codex App for Multi-Agent Software Work
OpenAI launched a macOS app designed to coordinate multiple coding agents, long-running tasks, skills and automations.
OpenAI introduced the Codex app for macOS as a desktop interface for managing coding agents, skills and long-running tasks. The company described it as a command center for supervising several pieces of work in parallel rather than a single prompt-and-response coding tool.
The product marked a clear change in the expected interaction model for developer AI. Coordination, persistence and review were becoming first-class product features, alongside raw code generation. OpenAI later expanded the app's availability to Windows, according to its update.
