Key Insights
You can now use the Chat GPT mobile app to control Codex, which is OpenAI’s version of Claude code. And I’m telling you this is the biggest update to Chat GPT maybe ever. So, on the left here, we have Codex, which is OpenAI’s version of Claude code. In my opinion, it’s the best way to control agents on your laptop. And now, you can connect to this application via Chat GPT. So, on Chat GPT, I can now connect it to Codex. And by the way, Codex can control my entire computer. Which means that through the Chat GPT app, I can now control my entire computer. So, here was the announcement around 1 hour ago. You’ve been asking for this one. Now in preview, Codex is in the Chat GPT mobile app. As you can see here in that side menu, you can now see Codex. You can connect your Chat GPT to Codex. You can think of this like a remote control. Let’s talk about setting it up for the first time. So, the thing that you’re going to want to do, on Codex, when you come here to set it up, you’re going to want to make sure that you have the latest version. Up here somewhere, you will see an option to update and restart. You want to make sure you do that. And then what you’re going to do is you’re going to make sure that your Chat GPT iOS app is fully up to date. So, you want to make sure you have the latest version of Chat GPT on your phone. And then what you’re going to do is you’re going to restart Codex. You’re going to restart Codex again. And when you open up your Codex app, this is what it should look like. You should see an option to connect it to Codex mobile. And when you see this option, and you have your uh iPhone open on Chat GPT, you should see this option to connect. And you want to make sure that you’re connected to the same Wi-Fi. And once you do that, this screen will automatically pop up. So, set up Codex mobile. Then you’re going to hit connect, and then you’re going to hit continue, and then you’re going to select which account you want to connect, and you’re going to hit authorize. After you hit authorize, the chats that show up here should match the chats that show up here. These should basically be in perfect sync. And then you basically should be good to go. So, this is the ChatGPT app. To get to Codex, you press this button up here on the top right. You press this button right here, and you see this Codex option. You can click on this, and here are all of your chats. Just like in ChatGPT, you can create a new chat, or you can create projects. Notice here, I think projects are incredibly useful for coding tasks inside Codex, but if you’re using it for one-off non-coding tasks, I recommend moving chats above projects. So, notice here, I have chats right here, and I can press this button to collapse all my chats, and then I have projects. The way you can put chats above your projects are you’re going to press this these three dots right here, and you’re going to see chats first. That’s the first thing I would do if you want to use this for non-technical tasks. I would do chats first. So, the way that you create a new chat on the mobile app is you’re just going to press this button right here, and it will create a new chat. The way that I like to interact with it is this voice voice mode, and check this out. Can you please do research on the latest update for GPT’s update that includes the new Codex remote? It just came out today, so you’re going to want to search the web a lot, and maybe look at social media posts, and find all of the info. Can you please compile all of the updates in a document? And so, it’s really easy to just fire this off. And if I want to specify what type of document, I can easily hit the at sign, and I can type doc, like if you want an actual document, we can use our plugins. So, we’re using the documents plugin, and we can actually back out of this. And when you have an agent working, you’ll see these little spinny circles, right? This means that the agent is working within this chat thread. I have thre
