New Codex features include the ability to use your computer in the background
Summary
OpenAI's Codex desktop app gains background computing capabilities, allowing Codex to operate across the user's system with its own cursor and run multiple agents in parallel without interrupting active tasks. It introduces task scheduling, an in-app web browser for feedback, and 90 new plugins, expanding into non-developer knowledge work and nudging toward a broader 'super app' concept. The update emphasizes enhanced developer workflows and automation potential across desktop environments.
