About
This entry covers an update to OpenAI's Codex app that, according to a YouTube news summary, adds computer use on Windows and remote control of Windows devices from ChatGPT on iOS or Android. Codex is OpenAI's coding agent, available in ChatGPT, a cloud environment, an IDE extension, a command-line tool and a desktop app, all tied to one ChatGPT account.
The official Codex page describes multi-agent workflows in which agents run in parallel and use computer and browser tools to verify their work. It also describes cloud tasks that continue when a laptop is closed, and automated pull request review. Details of the Windows-specific features (supported Windows versions, permission model, setup steps) were not in the provided material.
Codex is included in ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Edu and Enterprise plans, and can also be used with an API key. The Codex CLI is open source under Apache-2.0 on GitHub. The Windows computer-use and remote-control features are known only through a single creator mention, so their exact scope and rollout should be checked against OpenAI's documentation.
