OpenAI launches AI assistant for programmers Codex
Codex can write code in a wide range of programming languages, including JavaScript, Python, Go, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Swift, and Shell.

Codex operates in an isolated cloud environment, which ensures security and allows it to work with the user's codebase without access to the Internet. The AI agent can independently write code, test it, find and fix errors, and create code change requests, freeing up programmers' time for more important tasks.
While Codex works best with Python, it also supports over a dozen other programming languages, including JavaScript, Go, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Shell , and more. OpenAI claims that Codex provides detailed reports on every step of its development, making the development process more transparent and understandable.
Cisco, Temporal, Superhuman, and Kodiak are among the first companies to test OpenAI’s new tool. Cisco is testing the tool to speed up engineering workflows, while Superhuman is using Codex to improve test coverage and enable non-technical people to make code changes. Kodiak, a company that makes autonomous vehicles, is using Codex to improve code reliability and gain insight into complex software stacks. Temporal is using it for background tasks like debugging and writing tests.
Codex does not yet support image input for front-end development, and users cannot intervene during a task. OpenAI expects future versions to be able to engage in more complex, asynchronous collaboration, with agents capable of handling advanced, multi-faceted tasks.
Codex is integrated directly into the ChatGPT interface and is built on the o3 model. The AI agent is now available for ChatGPT Pro, Team, and Enterprise users, and will be available for Plus users in the future.
This isn't the first time Sam Altman's company has improved its AI for programmers. Last week, ChatGPT became available with GitHub integration for its "deep exploration" feature, allowing ChatGPT to dig into a user's repository and analyze the code they've written.
