AI tool overview
OpenAI Codex is a coding agent for engineering tasks across editor, terminal, and cloud workflows, with tools for review and integration.
OpenAI Codex is an AI coding agent for software engineering work. OpenAI's general-availability announcement describes using the agent in an editor, terminal, or cloud environment connected through a ChatGPT account. It also documents an SDK for embedding Codex in developer workflows and tools for code review and administration. These surfaces let developers ask for help with tasks such as implementation, refactoring, and reviewing changes. Codex can produce working changes, but the announcement does not imply every task is solved without supervision. Engineers should read the resulting diff, run tests, and consider security and repository conventions before merging or deploying code. Access and administrative features depend on the current plan and workspace setup.
Plans and availability can change. Check the official website for current details.
