🤖 OpenAI Codex App - Command Centre of AI Agents?!

🔥

OpenAI released a standalone macOS app for Codex that treats multiple AI agents like a team you're managing, not a chatbot you're prompting.

The automation and cron job features feel like a decent replica of OpenClaw, and it feels like OpenClaw lite.

***For a limited time (reportedly two months), Codex is available to ChatGPT Free and Go users, with doubled rate limits for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans.***

Highlights:

Multi-Agent Orchestration - Agents run in separate threads organized by projects with built-in worktree support so multiple agents can work on the same repo without conflicts.

Skills System - Pre-built workflows for common tasks like implementing Figma designs, triaging bugs in Linear, deploying to cloud hosts, and generating images. You can explicitly invoke skills or let Codex auto-select based on context.

Automations with Scheduling - Set agents to run background tasks on automatic schedules—daily issue triage, CI failure summaries, release briefs, bug checks. Results land in a review queue so you can jump back in when needed without blocking your main workflow.

Plan Mode & Personalities - New "plan mode" lets Codex read through complex changes in read-only mode and discuss with you before executing. Customizable personalities (pragmatic, empathetic, terse) adjust how the agent communicates, accessible via the /personality command.
