Artificial Intelligence is taking center stage in technology today, with companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, and OpenAI leading the charge.
In the latest development, OpenAI has launched a standalone Codex app for Apple computers.
The app is designed for developers who want a dedicated space to work with AI-powered coding tools.
According to OpenAI, the new app is simpler to use and makes daily development tasks easier to manage.
What Is the Codex App?
The Codex App serves as a central hub for developers. It allows them to manage multiple AI agents at the same time.
These agents are capable of handling tasks independently, such as writing code or managing long development projects.
OpenAI emphasizes that the app has a clean, simple interface, making it easier for developers to focus on their work without confusion.
How Developers Can Use AI Agents
Each AI agent in the app runs in a separate thread, organized by project.
This setup allows developers to track what each agent is doing.
Developers can review changes, collaborate, and even interact with agents while tasks are still running.
The ability to run multiple agents in parallel helps save time on larger projects, making the app especially useful for complex coding tasks.
More Than Just Coding
The Codex app is not limited to writing code.
comes with a built-in skills library, allowing agents to perform tasks beyond coding.
The app can also generate images and support other development work, making it useful for a wide range of projects.
Why AI Coding Tools Matter
AI coding tools have become increasingly popular in recent months. OpenAI reports that over one million developers used Codex last month alone.
Originally launched last year, Codex has now been strengthened with this new app, further boosting OpenAI’s position in the AI competition.
Availability and Extra Benefits
Previously, Codex was only available through ChatGPT subscription plans like Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu.
With the new app, free users and Go plan users can now access Codex for a limited time.
Additionally, OpenAI has doubled the rate limit for paid plans, allowing developers to run more tasks without hitting usage limits.
This makes the new app even more valuable for existing and new users.
