Codex goes mobile. A coding tool launched by OpenAI about a year ago — is now integrated into the ChatGPT app, allowing users to remotely monitor and manage their development workflows.
The new feature allows users to view Codex live environments on any device that runs it. The company announced the changes Thursday; Currently in preview, the update is now available for all plans on iOS and Android.
“It’s more than the ability to remotely manage a task or send new tasks to your computer,” OpenAI said in a statement. “From your phone, you can work on all your topics, review outputs, confirm commands, change models or start a new project.”
Also OpenAI last month Gave the ability to Codex running in the background in desktop environments — allows the tool to perform various tasks autonomously. Earlier this month, the company also presented a Chrome extension that allows the agent to work in live browser sessions.
In February, Anthropic released a similar feature – Remote Control — allows users to remotely monitor the operation of Claude Code remotely.
The spate of feature releases from both OpenAI and Anthropic speaks to the intense competition between the two as to which agent coding tool will be most widely used. Over the past year, Anthropic’s Claude Code has has gained popularity among both business and technology professionals, although both tools continue to be widely used.
