What is Codex

Codex is an AI coding agent from OpenAI that can plan, write, test, and fix code with real autonomy. You describe a task in plain language, and Codex works through your project step by step, running commands, checking tests, and preparing changes for you to review.

It started as a tool for software engineers but has grown into a wider work assistant used by analysts, designers, and other non-technical teams too. Codex runs in isolated spaces, so it does not touch your main project files directly.

You can use it from a desktop app, a command line tool, inside your code editor, or through ChatGPT on the web, and everything stays in sync across each place you work.
