(I work on Codex) One detail you might appreciate is that we built the app with a ton of code sharing with the CLI (as core agent harness) and the VSCode extension (UI layer), so that as we improve any of those, we polish them all.

Any chance you'll enable remote development on a self-hosted machine with this app?

Ie. I think the codex webapp on a self-hosted machine would be great. This is impotant when you need a beefier machine (with potentially a GPU).

    This should be table stakes by now. That's the beauty of these cli tools and how they scale so well.

    Working remotely with the app would truly be great

Any reason to switch from vscode with codex to this app? To me it looks like this app is more for non-developers but maybe I’m missing something

    Good question! VS Code is still a great place for deep, hands-on coding with the Codex IDE extension.

    We built the Codex app to make it easier to run and supervise multiple agents across projects, let longer-running tasks execute in parallel, and keep a higher-level view of what’s happening. Would love to hear your feedback!

      ok , 'projects' but this would make a lot more sense if we could connect remotely to the projects which works without a problem using the IDE plugin, so right now I don't see any advantage of using this

Awesome. Any chance we will see a phone app?

I know coding on a phone sounds stupid, but with an agent it’s mostly approvals and small comments.

    The ChatGPT app on iOS has a Codex page, though it only seems to be for the "cloud" version.
