The company aims to make Codex's automation and task-completion capabilities accessible to ChatGPT's nearly one billion users, not just software developers. The move positions ChatGPT as a single platform for executing computer-based tasks, from sending messages to running daily automated workflows.", "body_md": "penAI is [collapsing the wall between ChatGPT and Codex](https://openai.com/business/intelligence-at-work/), folding them into a single platform so users no longer have to toggle between apps, and opening Codex to far more people than the coders who first relied on it.\n\nInstead of making you choose between using the fast-growing Codex agent and ChatGPT, which has become the company’s biggest brand used by nearly a billion users, the company decided to take all of Codex and put it inside ChatGPT, Alex Embiricos, head of enterprise product, explained in a Codex workshop for press in New York City.\n\nThe result: easier access to Codex’s powerful capabilities.\n\n\"It's been really fun working with software developers, because they're an audience that wants to try a lot of new things,\" said Embiricos. \"We're now at the second phase, where we have these incredibly useful agents that are actually useful to do anything you can do on your computer. And now our goal is to bring this capability to everyone.\"\n\nThis update will also improve interoperability, Embiricos explained, as users on a computer or phone will have access to the same Codex capabilities directly within ChatGPT.\n\nAlso this week, OpenAI [launched](https://www.thedeepview.com/articles/openai-s-codex-plug-ins-want-to-go-beyond-coders) six new role-specific plugins that target roles beyond traditional software development, such as creative production, sales, and public equity investing, highlighting the push to bring Codex to a broader audience.\n\n\"For us, this is really core to our mission. We really care about making sure that the best technology is broadly available to everyone,\" said Embiricos.\n\nIf, like me, you've been skeptical about what Codex can actually do for non-coders, the workshop I attended shed some light on a few ways everyday users can put it to work. Here's what I found genuinely useful:\n\n**Sending messages:** By connecting your email, Slack, or another messaging platform, you can describe what you want to say, and Codex will draft it, locate the recipient's information, and send it with a single approval from you.**Calendar briefings:** Connect your calendar via a plugin, and you can ask Codex questions about upcoming events, or have it surface specific information on demand.**Daily automations:** Once you've combined the right plugins for a given workflow, you can instruct Codex to run it automatically at whatever cadence works best for you. For example:*Every morning at 8 AM, give me a summary of today's meetings and the most important action items from my inbox.*\n\n## Our Deeper *View*\n\nTools like Codex and its archrival Claude Code have built their reputations on software development, and that association runs deep. Rebranding Codex to appeal to a broader audience would have been an uphill battle, especially given how intimidating the interface can feel at first glance. Folding it into ChatGPT, a product so many people already know and use daily, was the smarter move. The bigger challenge now is helping people understand just how much these tools are actually capable of. For those willing to tinker and embrace the learning curve, this merger stands to unlock a whole new level of productivity. But you have to be willing to change your mental model of ChatGPT from just something you chat with to something that accomplishes tasks for you.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-chatgpt-will-do-with-its-codex-superpowers", "canonical_source": "https://www.thedeepview.com/articles/what-chatgpt-will-do-with-its-codex-superpowers", "published_at": "2026-06-03 21:14:31+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-04 15:05:14.526661+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "generative-ai", "ai-products", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["OpenAI", "ChatGPT", "Codex", "Alex Embiricos"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-chatgpt-will-do-with-its-codex-superpowers", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-chatgpt-will-do-with-its-codex-superpowers.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-chatgpt-will-do-with-its-codex-superpowers.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-chatgpt-will-do-with-its-codex-superpowers.jsonld"}}
