Codex Is Not Just Smarter. It'll Reshape Software Development
Automate the boring parts so developers can focus on building what really matters.
Software development will never be the same.
On May 16, 2025, OpenAI launched Codex, a new fully agentic AI coding assistant built into ChatGPT.
Unlike traditional code autocomplete tools, Codex goes beyond being just a smart editor. It acts as an autonomous coding agent that can navigate your codebase, carry out tasks, and even create pull requests with minimal human input.
