Codex for every role, tool, and workflow

More than 5 million people now use Codex every week. Codex started as a tool for software development, but it's increasingly useful for more kinds of work. Non-developers—including analysts, marketers, operators, designers, researchers, investors, and bankers—make up about 20% of overall Codex users⁠ and are growing more than 3x as fast as developers.

Today, we’re introducing new ways to do more of your work with Codex: plugins that adapt Codex to your role and tools, annotations that help you refine the result in place, and a preview of the ability to create interactive websites and apps you can share with your workspace using a URL.

Inside OpenAI, non-technical teams use Codex to build internal apps, prepare executive materials, create dashboards, and turn creative briefs into work that reflects brand and design constraints. At Zapier, teams use Codex to pull knowledge from tools like Slack, Google Docs, and Coda, then turn that context into postmortems, incident response plans, and feature tickets. At NVIDIA, researchers are using Codex to speed up experiment workflows, from finding research ideas to writing scripts for machine learning infrastructure.

Codex is most useful when it works the way your team does: connected to the tools you use and ready to create the materials you need.

Plugins help Codex work with the tools, context, and workflows your team already uses. Today, we’re launching six new role-specific plugins that make Codex useful for more kinds of knowledge work, no coding required:

Plugins work out of the box. Teams can also adapt them to their workflows or build and share custom plugins for their own systems and processes.

More role-specific plugins are coming soon, including Corporate Finance, Private Equity Investing, Marketing Strategy, Strategy Consulting, and Legal. And this is just the start: we’re building toward an open ecosystem where partners can create and deploy their own plugins directly in Codex and ChatGPT.

Starting in preview for business and enterprise customers, Codex can now create and share interactive, hosted websites and apps.

Sites are a new kind of canvas for your ideas. Codex can take your ideas, analysis, and plans and turn them into dashboards, planners, review workspaces, project boards, galleries, and lightweight tools. Today, sites can be shared with anyone in your workspace via URL, giving teams a shared place to explore work, contribute input, track progress, and make decisions together.

Ask Codex to create a site for an upcoming customer review, and it’ll generate an interactive webpage with the relevant product updates, open questions, usage trends, and next steps for that account. Ask it to build a scenario planner from a financial model, so leaders can compare assumptions instead of reading through tabs in a doc. Ask it to turn launch materials into a living hub where teams can find the latest messaging, milestones, owners, and decisions. Then ask Codex to keep the site up to date as details change.

Instead of adapting work to the limits of a single tool or file, teams can create sites that fit the work. And sites aren’t static. They can also help track progress for a major project, help guide customer service reps, or act as a repository for your team’s creative briefs.

We’re also working with early partners including Vercel, Wix, Base44, Replit, Lovable, Figma, Webflow, and Emergent as we build towards a sites partner ecosystem.

Developers already use annotations in Codex to refine code, Markdown files, and websites Codex creates. With annotations, you point to the exact part you want to refine and tell Codex what needs to change. That way of working now extends to content you create, like documents, spreadsheets, and slides.

Select the navigation bar in a site and ask Codex to update the font. Highlight a claim in an investment thesis and ask Codex where it came from. Mark a chart on a slide and ask for a clearer label. Codex focuses the update on the part you selected, so you can refine your work without starting over or reworking the parts you already like. Annotations make Codex more useful after the first draft, when the work needs judgment, feedback, and iteration.

Role-specific plugins are rolling out in Codex in supported regions. You can install them from the Codex plugin directory and Codex will help get you set up. Codex can also help you customize a plugin. For Business and Enterprise workspaces, admins can control⁠(opens in a new window) underlying app permissions in workspace settings.
