Codex for Mac has a new way to provide context to your chat.
Appshots is a new Codex for Mac feature that captures both screenshots and window text, including hidden content.
KEY POINTS
The /goal command is no longer experimental and enables Codex to pursue milestones persistently across sessions.
Codex's in-app browser now offers advanced annotation mode and supports batch comments for greater precision.
Business users can now share custom plugins among teams, with enterprises able to request early access.
Analytics for business and enterprise Codex users now detail user activity, credits, tokens, runs, and plugin usage.
OpenAI just released this week’s Codex desktop app update, and it includes a brand new feature on Mac called Appshots.
Appshots is now available for Codex for Mac, adding a new way to instantly provide context to your chat.
“On your Mac, press Command-Command to attach your app window to a Codex thread,” OpenAI says. “Codex gets both a screenshot and text from the window, including content beyond what’s visible onscreen.”
Today’s update also includes an upgraded /goal command, which OpenAI documents here.
/goal has graduated from an experiment—for tasks big and small, Codex gets your work done.
Use goal mode in the Codex app, IDE Extension, or CLI to give Codex a specific milestone, and it will keep working until it gets there, even across hours or days.
You can check in and steer, and even pause Codex along the way.
Pro tip: start side chats to understand the work that has been done so far without having to interrupt the main task.
OpenAI says the in-app browser inside Codex is now faster and more precise with advanced annotation mode and batch comments support.
Business users can now share custom plugins between teams. Enterprise users can reach out to OpenAI to request early access to shared plugins support.
OpenAI also says that Analytics in Codex in business and enterprise users now includes more details around active users, credits, tokens, runs, user leaderboards, lines of code generated, and plugin usage.
