“You're not in an IDE. You're not coding alongside it. You're just setting off a task, and it's going to go and do a bunch of work for you. And now, obviously, it's very clear that that's the dominant paradigm that we're going to be in. Codex has proven it. You…”

“OpenAI is planning to unify its ChatGPT app, coding platform codex, and browser into a desktop super app, a step to simplify the user experience and continue with efforts to focus on engineering and business customers.”
