OpenAI Codex Evolves to Autonomously Control Your Computer While You Work

OpenAI's Codex desktop app now operates your computer independently in the background, marking a significant evolution in AI-assisted productivity. The update introduces multi-agent parallel execution, intelligent task scheduling across hours and weeks, and an integrated browser interface—enabling developers and knowledge workers to delegate complex automated tasks without interruption. This capability represents a critical step toward AI systems that can autonomously manage entire computer-based workflows.
