@op7418: I finally understand what the OpenAI official replied to me yesterday! Besides using ChatGPT for connection and remote control, Codex can also control another computer of yours. This way, you can directly control multiple computers on ChatGPT without having to switch devices — just switch projects.

I finally understand what the OpenAI staff replied to me yesterday!

Codex can not only connect via ChatGPT and control remotely, but also allow you to control another computer from within Codex.

This way, you can directly control multiple computers on ChatGPT without switching devices — just switch projects.

For example, Codex on my MacBook can read local files, and it can also directly read the context and files from my other Mac Mini.

Here’s how to do it:

1. First, go to Settings → Connection and select Control other devices.
2. In Control other devices, click the plus sign and choose another device that already has Codex installed.
3. After selecting, you need to connect to a remote project under Select workspace in a new chat.
4. Find the folder on the other remote device that you want to allow access to.

This way, you can see the projects running on the other device in Codex. When ChatGPT selects that device, it can also see the other device’s projects.

Their contexts are now shared. This is incredibly useful!

Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav (@reach_vb): yes! and you can set up other VMs etc via remote SSH as well!
