Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
OpenAI has transformed Codex from an AI coding assistant into a comprehensive enterprise work platform. The expansion introduces three new capabilities: Sites (for creating hosted interactive web applications), Annotations (an in-place editing tool), and six role-specific plugins integrating 62 business applications like Snowflake, Figma, and Salesforce with 110 automated skills. Notably, non-developers are adopting Codex three times faster than engineers, signaling OpenAI's ambition to position Codex as the default interface for knowledge work beyond software development.
