OpenAI Turns Codex Into a Full Computer Agent

OpenAI is massively updating its Codex desktop app for Mac and Windows, transforming it from a coding tool into a full computer-controlling agent. The platform can now launch apps, click, and type across any application on your computer, with Mac users able to run agents in the background while continuing to use their machine simultaneously. The update moves Codex closer to the Super App OpenAI has confirmed it is pursuing. The announcement comes as OpenAI reports Codex has reached 3 million weekly developers, signaling strong adoption of its AI-powered development environment.
