OpenAI has introduced Codex, a powerful new cloud-based AI coding agent designed to assist software engineers by writing features, answering coding questions, fixing bugs, and proposing code changes. While in early development and not without its limitations, Codex aims to enhance collaboration through AI, enabling developers to delegate repetitive tasks efficiently. Available to certain subscribers initially at no extra cost, OpenAI plans to monetize these capabilities after the research preview. The launch reflects a growing trend in AI tools designed to aid software development and improve productivity.
Codex, a cloud-based software engineering agent, can write features, answer questions about a codebase, fix bugs, and propose pull requests for review.
Over time, however, the company said using the service will feel more like asynchronous collaboration with colleagues.
We imagine a future where developers drive the work they want to own and delegate the rest to agents-moving faster and being more productive with AI.
OpenAI competitor Anthropic released an agentic coding tool in February. In April, Google added new features to its AI coding agent.
