Codex AI Now Controls Windows PCs Remotely
2 Jun
Summary
- Codex's Computer Use feature now operates on Windows 11 systems.
- Users can control specific apps or the entire system via AI instructions.
- Mobile app integration allows remote steering of Windows tasks.
OpenAI's Codex has expanded its capabilities with the Computer Use feature now accessible on Windows 11 systems. Previously limited to macOS, this innovative feature empowers Codex to control applications and manage the operating system by utilizing its own virtual mouse and keyboard.
This development is particularly beneficial for developers, enabling Codex to execute tasks such as testing software, updating databases, and troubleshooting workflows within a Windows environment. Users can issue commands referring to specific applications or system functions, with examples including verifying checkout page functionality after changes.
Further enhancing its utility, Codex on mobile apps now integrates with the desktop's Computer Use feature. This allows users to initiate, monitor, and direct tasks on their Windows systems remotely from their mobile devices, effectively enabling PC operation even when away from the computer.
The Computer Use feature is presently included across all Codex plans, including the free tier. However, it is slated to transition to being reserved for paid plans such as Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise in the future.
