OpenAI has launched an AI agent in ChatGPT, Codex, that can handle multiple software engineering tasks on behalf of users simultaneously.

This new feature is equipped to perform multiple tasks like writing features, answering questions about your codebase, fixing bugs, and proposing pull requests for review.

Sam Altman and other company leaders hyped the announcement yesterday on X by teasing it as their next “low-key research preview,” which is how ChatGPT itself was first described. You can watch OpenAI demo Codex below and read more about it in this week’s Command Line.
