OpenAI Brings Codex Coding Agent to ChatGPT Desktop for Linux

OpenAI has launched Codex in ChatGPT, a desktop app for Linux that brings its AI coding agent to the popular chat interface. The tool handles end-to-end engineering tasks like building features, refactoring, and migrations, and supports multi-agent workflows with parallel cloud environments. It also introduces Skills for customizing workflows and scheduled background tasks for issue triage and CI/CD. Early adopters like Wonderful, Harvey, and Sierra report significant time savings and improved code quality.

With Codex, we ship in a weekend what previously took a quarter.
