The company’s push included the recently released major update for Codex that lets itoperate apps on macOS— a potentially major step as part of its ambitions tomake a desktop “superapp.”Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app lets you use your phone to tell Codex on your computer to work on a task. With your phone, you can “work across all of your threads, review outputs, approve commands, change models, or start something new” in Codex,according to a blog post. “Your files, credentials, permissions, and local setup stay on the machine where Codex is operating, while updates flow back to your phone in real time, including screenshots, terminal output, diffs, test results, and approvals.”The feature is rolling out now as a preview on iOS and Android for all ChatGPT plans, including the free plan and the more affordable Go plan.Follow topics and authorsfrom this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Jay PetersAIAppsNewsOpenAITechMost PopularMost PopularMicrosoft starts canceling Claude Code licensesLeaked images reveal Xbox Elite 3 controllerLeaked images show Microsoft’s new Xbox Cloud Gaming controllerYou can make an app for thatI’m obsessed with Forza Horizon 6, and I’ve barely even racedThe Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to ourTermsandPrivacy Notice.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.Advertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
