Summary

- Built-in browser allows direct webpage modification.
- New memory features enable AI context recall.
OpenAI has released a major update to its Codex AI, enhancing its capabilities for developers. The updated agents can now interact with other applications on a PC, allowing users to specify or let the AI choose the best program for a task. This feature is designed to run applications without impacting overall system performance.
The update also introduces a built-in browser with a commenting system that enables users to prompt Codex for modifications to webpages or web apps. Additionally, Codex now features image generation powered by gpt-image-1.5, capable of creating product concepts and frontend designs. New memory features allow Codex to recall context from previous tasks to improve future performance and suggest proactive actions.
Computer use functionality is initially available to macOS users, with plans for expansion to the EU and UK. The memory features will also be rolled out to users in the EU and UK shortly after. These advancements offer a glimpse into OpenAI's vision for a cohesive AI super app experience.
