OpenAI Expands Codex Beyond Coding — Computer Use, Memory, Scheduled Automations

OpenAI Blog·high signal

OpenAI's 'Codex for (almost) everything' update transforms Codex from a coding agent into a full developer workstation. New capabilities include macOS computer use (operating Figma, Xcode, Slack alongside you), persistent memory across sessions, scheduled automations that can run for days/weeks, image generation within workflows, and 90+ new plugin integrations including Atlassian, CircleCI, GitLab, and Neon. Codex revenue doubled in under seven days post-GPT-5.5 launch.
