OpenAI announced changes to Codex at its Dev Day on Tuesday. The company said the software engineering agent was gaining more persistent cloud workspaces that could be reached from different devices.
OpenAI said developers would be able to use Codex on a computer, on a phone or in the cloud, with shared settings and permissions for teams. It said the new setup was intended to help tasks begin more quickly.
The company said the Codex CLI gained voice control, and that a new /agents view would make it easier to manage multiple tasks. It also said Codex could now review code inside the ChatGPT desktop app, including GitHub pull requests and GitLab merge requests.
OpenAI said Codex Security Cloud could scan GitHub repositories on demand, on a schedule or when new commits arrived. It said the tool would examine findings, remove duplicates and prepare fixes in the cloud, and that the security set included models from Daybreak Blue.
OpenAI also announced a Decisions API that used Luna to answer user-defined questions with preset replies. It said an updated Agents API supported computer use and Amazon’s Bedrock Managed Agents for agents that ran entirely on AWS.
