And how can we use it effectively in our daily life?

Last week, OpenAI launched Codex, an AI software engineering agent operating on the cloud.

What can it do?

First of all, it is available for all the Pro users (not for the Plus users on the $20 plan).

You can literally connect your GitHub account (whether it’s org or personal) and ask whatever you need to achieve—like analyse the full codebase, or find bugs in the current codebase, and whatever you have to do.

The interesting part is that you can have multiple tasks that you have, and it runs asynchronously—means it all runs on each chat and you can leave it there and start on another task.

Eg: you can have a task running for finding bugs and also at the same time have another task running like implementing a new feature and all. So how cool is that though!

So what I can see is that—if you are interested to contribute to a particular open source project and you don’t have any idea on the folder structure and all, you can literally fork that to your personal ACC and connect it to the Codex and ask it to analyse the codebase and explain it plainly—and you have the full documentation as well.

And on the other end, it works on the cloud so that you can use that on your phone as well to do the task.

So that’s it. Even I am also experimenting with it and this is interesting as well—for the people who already know how to code, not for the others ig.
