OpenAI's Codex Now Operates Windows PCs Autonomously
OpenAI's Codex now operates Windows PCs independently, testing apps and hunting bugs without user input, as per the latest update.
OpenAI has expanded its Codex app to Windows 11, enabling the AI to use apps, files, and other resources on a PC even when the user is not present. This allows the AI to test applications, hunt for bugs, or review work autonomously. The feature is toggled on in Codex's settings, with commands targeting specific programs. Codex is also now available through the ChatGPT app on iPhone and Android for starting or monitoring tasks on a Windows machine remotely. Computer Use was first launched on macOS in April, with mobile access following in May. The rapid Codex expansion is part of OpenAI's plan to build a 'super app' for work and daily life. ChatGPT could eventually fold into that app, though the brand is likely too strong to subsume under the Codex name, which primarily targets developers. *Source: [thedecoder](https://the-decoder.com/openais-codex-can-now-operate-your-windows-pc-autonomously-hunting-bugs-and-testing-apps-on-its-own/)*
