@oohallie shouldn't be the case. codex chats should be separate, in the codex tab. your chatgpt work & chatgpt chats are interleaved on the first tab. and you can always filter the list!

It’s astounding to watch how Kyle uses Codex and ChatGPT Work to do his strat finance job.

I lead Strategic Finance Foundations at @OpenAI, and I use Codex for everything. It all started with gaining leverage on our hardest monthly finance process ~6 months ago. Now I’m sharing 180 days of lessons on designing better work with AI — for any knowledge worker. The idea behind the series is simple: learn how to design the work. Break the problem into steps, give the right context, and know where human judgment matters. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗶𝗽 #𝟭 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄.

@athyuttamre Go to Stamm! Amazing men’s clothing brand in Copenhagen.

@tarstarr I know you will! I can absolutely feel the destination and momentum and imagine there are all kinds of technical challenges in getting there.

Okay, you actually CAN run web project chats in the ChatGPT desktop app that also show up in the web app. You just have to choose "In the cloud" from the little icon beneath the send button. Then the chat ends up there. I don't think a lot of people know that. I didn't.
Really, though, I think people just want everything to sync by default. I guess they can do that by leaving the selection on "In the cloud." But I ideally want the best of both worlds, the power of running locally, and the convenience of bidirectional syncing.

@johnhelmuth_ @lilygardening @thsottiaux it is small, for sure. i personally just use the keyboard shortcut here, can definitely document that much better too.

@lilygardening @tarstarr @thsottiaux Well fuck me, found it. Why did they have to make it so small?? At least it's there...

Evening! We’ve gotten lots of great feedback on the new ChatGPT desktop app (which we didn't get totally quite right on the first try), and as a result, we've made some changes.
1/ ChatGPT conversation history and projects are now visible in the sidebar. Also, your Chat and Work history now sync across web, mobile, and desktop. Local tasks still stay on your computer.
2/ You can now easily switch between Chat and Work modes inside ChatGPT on desktop, which is now also consistent with how it shows on web and mobile.
3/ Nothing is changing for users on Codex mode. It's still the OG and best at what it does.
And overall we're continuing to fix paper cuts and improve performance, reliability, and efficiency.
Keep up the feedback, hope you like the updates!

@johnhelmuth_ @thsottiaux You can use quickchat to talk to ChatGPT within in Codex. Just click on the little message bubble to the right of "New chat", or ⌘ Option N on mac

I know this is like asking you to go backwards yet again, but as someone who almost entirely uses the desktop app for codex, I actually really liked having the chats as an overlay window that would disappear with 1 click. Now it takes me going to the dropdown menu and going to chats to ask a real quick ChatGPT question, then have to navigate back to codex before continuing.
Could we get standard chats back on the codex page as an option at least?
English

I used both. The unified app is not unified. It is a Co-codex app with ChatGPT in there...somewhere. Everything I do with Codex, starts with ChatGPT. It doesn't end when it's passed to Codex. Yes, you can "Add to task" in the new app. But, the connector in the ChatGPT app is gone so there's no visibility.
English

@manabiSRS @anumness Should be right up front with the latest update!
English

@tarstarr Looks good. Can we make it so that when we select chat our work projects are hidden/collapsed? It took me quite a while to figure out if I kept scrolling down on the left I would eventually see my chat projects and conversations.
English


@aaronp613 Hmm, have they gotten rid of the meeting recorder feature in the 'new' app? I have the Codex app already, but only ChatGPT classic thus far retains the meeting recorder feature @thsottiaux for vis
English

@thsottiaux History and projects now visible in the sidebar plus full cross-device sync finally makes the desktop app usable for real work. No more starting from scratch every time I switch devices. Any plans to add folders or better project organization next?
English

@reeder1865 @hagaetc @OpenAI Would love to help with any issue here, can DM if easier. You should still be able to use the Codex tab (and remote on your phone) exactly as before.
English

I’m still trying to figure it out. Had everything running from a remote Mac mini in codex. Now I’m using ChatGPT web and it doesn’t even sync to my phone. Pretty much killed my dev work so I’m just doing light strategy and roadmap docs.
Silver lining I’m racking up a lot of limit resets but can’t use them till they figure this out.

A ChatGPT automation just found ~$45K in erroneous invoices across 3 years of billing history that I've confirmed and already had resolved. My lifetime history for ChatGPT is ~$1,800, so it just paid for itself 25x over.
I setup an automation with read-only access to my email, and tasked this one specifically with analyzing construction invoices. It has access to prior construction invoices, emails, meeting notes, etc. It produces a report and emails it to me (the only email its allowed to send, enforced by API token) whenever I receive a construction invoice.
Across 3 years of construction projects, it found about $45K in issues. Some were wrong amounts, some were duplicate invoices, some were invoices addressed to the wrong person. I manually verified, emailed my GCs, and got refunded/credited.
I get multiple construction bills each month and each bill is ~50 pages in a PDF of low-quality scanned paper. I do manually review each bill but its pretty hard to be right all the time.
I do believe these were genuine mistakes and not done out of ill will just based on what the mistakes were. I don't want to share my full construction costs across the past few years, but $45K is a very small percentage of overall billed amounts.
Pretty sweet.

@tarstarr I actually got a notification like a month ago saying they’re evaluating my account for a blue check. Didn’t know they still did that!
