Following the release of Claude Code, OpenAI has introduced a new feature allowing Codex to control applications directly on a user's computer.
Key features of this update include:
- Background Operation: The tool runs in the background without interrupting your current workflow.
- Parallel Execution: Users can run multiple AI agents simultaneously to handle different tasks.
- macOS Exclusive: Currently, the feature is only available for the Codex app on macOS, with no confirmed dates for Windows or Linux support.
According to reports from The Verge, this move signals a growing trend of AI agents moving beyond the browser to interact directly with desktop software environments.
