OpenAI Codex Now Lets You Import Your World: Projects, Chats, and Skills from Other Agents

I suggest adding an opt-in “shared context” setting between ChatGPT and Codex. Possible design: This would make Codex much more useful for long-term software projects, research projects, and personal knowledge-management workflows, while preserving user control and privacy. Fully agree this would be a sweet option to have shared context. And would keep them ahead of the competition who are not doing this either (yet). My guess (based on what has been announced by OAI and alluded to) is that we will see this in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed. I would love it so much. I see several risks though: In the end I have to say I got used to it. It allow me to spot some non-sense that the two of them exchange with each other. [...] If the architecture is clear in your discussion with GPT and the goal that you want Codex to achieve with the prompt you ask GPT to make you’ll indeed still need to copy paste but it will work wonderfully. Sometimes, when everyone only know what he needs to k

Do I now need to pay for ChatGPT + Cursor + Claude + something else? In many scenarios, that turns into an endless subscription stack. Image 4 The good news is that this recently changed. OpenAI integrated Codex directly into ChatGPT. In practice, if you already have a ChatGPT Pro account, you can now use Codex inside VS Code without subscribing to another platform. In other words, you keep using ChatGPT as usual, but you gain a coding agent inside your IDE. That’s exactly what we’re going to set up next. ## Prerequisites You only need: A ChatGPT Pro account Visual Studio Code installed Logged into ChatGPT in your browser No API keys. No Azure setup. No complex configuration. Everything runs through your ChatGPT session. ## Step-by-step:

Even when you’re away from your computer or phone, ChatGPT Work can keep projects moving forward with Scheduled Tasks. For example, it can independently turn new messages from Microsoft Teams and Slack into updated docs or slides, then share important changes with your team. In early testing, we’ve seen how ChatGPT Work expands what users can do: Nearly 100% of teams inside OpenAI, including finance and sales, now use ChatGPT Work and Codex to move faster, take on harder tasks, and spend more time with customers. [...] With Codex technology built-in, ChatGPT can now move beyond answering questions to getting real work done across web, mobile, and desktop. More than 5 million people use Codex every week. Although it began as a coding agent for developers, more than 1 million people now use it for work outside software development, showing how its capabilities can support a wider range of tasks. To better manage these tasks, ChatGPT Work is powered by our latest frontier model, GPT‑5.
