Currently available to ChatGPT Pro, Team, and Enterprise users, with plans to expand access to Plus and Edu users, Codex represents a significant step in AI-assisted software development. OpenAI engineers are already utilizing Codex for repetitive tasks like code refactoring and testing, enhancing productivity and focus.

Unlike traditional chatbots, Codex can interact with other software and online services, potentially assisting with practical tasks beyond coding, such as placing food orders or making reservations.
