OpenAI is bringing its Codex coding tool to mobile devices through integration with the ChatGPT app, allowing developers to monitor and manage their development workflows remotely. The update, currently in preview, enables users to work across threads, review outputs, and control coding tasks from their phones. This move comes amid increasing competition with Anthropic's Claude Code, as both companies race to dominate the agentic coding assistant market.
Background
OpenAI's Codex is an AI system that translates natural language to code, powering tools like GitHub Copilot. It was first released in 2021 and has since become a popular tool for developers to assist with coding tasks.
