OpenAI just dropped the Codex App for macOS, and it’s a massive shift. We aren't just coding with AI anymore, we are managing a team of them.
Here is the quick breakdown of why this matters:
- Parallel Execution: Agents now run in isolated threads (git worktrees). They ship features while you review code, without messing up your local environment.
- Real "Skills": It connects to Figma, Linear, and Vercel to handle design handoffs, bug triage, and deployments automatically.
- 7 Million Token Benchmark: To prove the power, a single prompt built, designed, and tested a 3D kart racing game.
- Automations: You can now schedule agents to run background tasks (like daily release briefs) while you sleep.
The Takeaway: The game has changed. It is no longer about how fast you write logic, but how well you orchestrate digital workers.
