ChatGPT Codex Is Now a Full AI Agent (20% Faster): Email, Browser, Apps, Automations & WebsitesThe script showcases a major ChatGPT/OpenAI Codex update that turns Codex from a coding tool into a full AI agent for everyday work, including controlling the computer and browser, opening apps, managing Gmail, connecting calendar/files, and running scheduled daily automations. The presenter demonstrates installing a Gmail plugin, summarizing inbox requests, drafting/sending an automated daily email update with approval controls (auto-review/full access), and running tasks in parallel while Codex builds a website and navigates it autonomously. They highlight a cleaner design, role-based onboarding, automation templates, and improved computer/browser performance that’s 20% faster. Additional examples include creating slides and spreadsheets, using local apps like Calculator, building games, and having Codex set up other AI tools for non-technical users.
