OpenAI just released this week’s Codex desktop app update, and it includes a brand new feature on Mac called Appshots.
OpenAI updates Codex with Appshots, upgraded goal mode, faster in-app browser, and shared plugins
Appshots is now available for Codex for Mac, adding a new way to instantly provide context to your chat.
“On your Mac, press Command-Command to attach your app window to a Codex thread,” OpenAI says. “Codex gets both a screenshot and text from the window, including content beyond what’s visible onscreen.”
Today’s update also includes an upgraded /goal command, which OpenAI documents here.
/goal has graduated from an experiment—for tasks big and small, Codex gets your work done.
Use goal mode in the Codex app, IDE Extension, or CLI to give Codex a specific milestone, and it will keep working until it gets there, even across hours or days.
You can check in and steer, and even pause Codex along the way.
Pro tip: start side chats to understand the work that has been done so far without having to interrupt the main task.
OpenAI says the in-app browser inside Codex is now faster and more precise with advanced annotation mode and batch comments support.
Business users can now share custom plugins between teams. Enterprise users can reach out to OpenAI to request early access to shared plugins support.
OpenAI also says that Analytics in Codex in business and enterprise users now includes more details around active users, credits, tokens, runs, user leaderboards, lines of code generated, and plugin usage.
The latest version of Codex for Mac is available now. Last week, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex iOS access through the ChatGPT app, which it has also improved with new features this week.
