OpenAI·medium signal
OpenAI announced Codex can now schedule future work for itself and wake up automatically to continue long-term tasks across days or weeks — a step toward truly autonomous coding agents. A memory preview lets Codex retain personal preferences, corrections, and gathered information between sessions. Over 90 new plugins launched including Atlassian Rovo, CircleCI, CodeRabbit, GitLab Issues, and Microsoft Suite, expanding Codex beyond a coding tool into a general-purpose development workflow agent.
