OpenAI turns Codex into an all-in-one app with computer control and images

OpenAI is expanding Codex from a coding agent into a broader development app.

The new version adds computer control, browser integration, image generation, multiple plugins, and a memory preview.

The rollout starts in the desktop app, with computer use support beginning on macOS first.

The update could make Codex more useful across development, testing, design, and automation workflows.
