@ajambrosino Can you add a feature to the transcribe, maybe a separate hot key, that will format and organize? For example writing an email, making a list, etc.

Codex for everything: - Dynamic UI for the task at hand - 20% faster computer & browser use - Even better slides and sheets - Annotate in browser, artifacts, and code - Easier to get started - Cleaner design across the app - Performance improvements - (no clunky handoff/switching)

@ajambrosino Burns through usage though.

it's still experimental so we hide it a bit, but in the codex app, try: > what have i been doing very inefficiently on my computer (according to Chronicle). make some recommendations. be direct. tell me what i need to hear.

Was going back and forth with Claude on a bug, Codex 5.5 one shot fixed it 🚀🚀. And to think this is the worst it will ever be. 🤯

@DiegoAlcubierre @thsottiaux @diegocabezas01 Figured it out, had laptop lid closed and connected through HDMI

@JHGOLD @thsottiaux @diegocabezas01 You need to keep it pressed. At least that was my issue

This OpenAI Codex feature ate at least 2-3 AI startups

@iruletheworldmo Use Claude and codex strategically together has been a big unlock.

how are people enjoying 5.5 so far? does it feel like a big pre train, has it unlocked new use cases, are you using it for coding or something else, has it replaced 4.7, is there anything you hate about it spill the tea chat 🫰

@thsottiaux @diegocabezas01 Can’t get it to work. Looks like it is recording then no text output. Heard that issue? It has system permission. Had no issue with superwhisper

@diegocabezas01 It was one prompt for GPT-5.5. That is not a good startup idea

@chatgpt21 They’ll be everywhere.

What are the best businesses to be in a post-AGI world?

@gdb Automating everything! Need a mobile please and thank you.

what are you building with codex?

@sherwinwu @tryshortcutai Still think Claude excels here, pun intended.

GPT-5.5 is pretty incredible at working in spreadsheets! And this is the worst it will ever be. If you work in spreadsheets all day, see how much time it can save you in @tryshortcutai, or use it in our ChatGPT for Excel plugin: chatgpt.com/apps/spreadshe…

@thsottiaux I’ve switched now! Loving it. Computer use is huge

Happy Tuesday. Codex has hit 4M active users, adding over 1M users in less than two weeks. To celebrate we will reset the rate limits again in a few hours. Enjoy!

@gdb Been cooking. Great product. Need Codex on my phone so it seamlessly connects to my computer session.

just launched GPT-5.5 in our API, please enjoy!

@minchoi Students aren't quitting tech—they're pivoting smart. AI is automating routine coding, so they're flooding into AI engineering, ML, data science, cybersecurity, and applied AI programs (those are seeing increases while traditional CS dips)

Computer science was the golden ticket. Now it's seeing the biggest enrollment drop of any major. AI is changing everything.

@ajambrosino Can we get remote control of the codex app? And long running loops?

excited to welcome Tim Cook to the Codex team

Early winners will be the ones treating agents like new hires: onboarding them with clear goals, guardrails, and feedback loops. Companies that expose clean APIs, structured data, and scoped permissions will become the default infrastructure layer. This creates a huge upskilling opportunity today — learn to build/evaluate agents now, and you’ll be the person enabling leverage across marketing, ops, legal, or research teams tomorrow. The agent economy isn’t replacing jobs wholesale; it’s creating a new layer of “AI team managers.

The jump from working with a chatbot to having an agent that actually helps automate a process requires a real amount of work. Most companies will need to have dedicated people that are responsible for bringing automation to their teams, instead of leaving this up to every individual employee. Partly because the work is more technical than we imagine today, and partly because it’s just hard to do this as a side project. The job spec is to map out new workflows with agents, implement new systems to deploy agents, make sure the agent has all the right (up to date) context to work with, wiring up internal systems to connect to the agents, creating evals for the agents, figuring out where the human is in the loop, managing the system when there are new upgrades, helping with the change management of the existing business process, and so on. These jobs may come from IT or engineering, or live directly in the business function itself. They’ll be called different things depending on the company, and in some sense it’s the future of software engineering that you’ll see a huge growth of in non-tech companies. Most companies will have to be hiring for this now or in the future, and it’s another example of the kind of new jobs that will be created in AI.

This is excellent, Sydney. Harness for capability, runtime for reliability. The checkpointing + time travel combo for long-running agents, plus open MCP/A2A to stay vendor-neutral, is huge. deepagents deploy looks like the practical way to ship without reinventing the wheel every time. Solid work!

Harness = what your agent can do. Runtime = whether it actually works in production. Game-changing breakdown.

@garrytan AI is finally handling more of the servant work. The winners will be those who protect and amplify their intuition, not outsource it. Time to rebalance.

@ivanburazin Spot on with headless SaaS changing the game. But let’s be real—these legacy SaaS giants will keep charging exorbitant enterprise prices under Wall Street growth pressure… for what’s basically a glorified database + some API wrappers. The moat is shrinking fast.

SaaS going headless means more people are going to buy vs. build in-house.
