What changed

Desktop developer workflows include pull request review, multiple files and terminals, SSH access to remote devboxes, and an in-app browser. Automations and optional memory reduce the need for repeated setup. Available across all ChatGPT plans from today.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means Codex is now a general-purpose computer use agent alongside Claude's equivalent capability: for marketing technologists, this widens the range of tasks that can be handed off without switching tools.
