Here are 5 gameplay tips you need to know about the latest Codex update:
-
3 new built-in plugins
- sites: A direct replacement for Vercel — deploy your website with one click.
- Template Creator: A lifesaver for report writing. Upload your files (Word, Excel, PPT), it extracts the formatting and packages it into a reusable skill. Next time, just reuse it.
- Visualize: Turn complex workflows and abstract concepts into interactive charts and presentations.
-
Built-in browser works just like Google
The upgraded built-in browser is a game changer. You can import your Google account info, manage website login passwords, download web files, and multi-tab browsing is incredibly smooth.
It essentially embeds Google directly into Codex. -
Ultra mode — 4 agents working in parallel
For complex development tasks, try the new Ultra reasoning intensity. Comparable to Cursor’s dynamic workflow, it calls multiple agents to execute tasks simultaneously.
I used 5.6 sol Ultra to iterate my personal website skill — now it delivers a polished first version, with major improvements in speed and completeness. -
Connect GPT web chat to Codex
ChatGPT and Codex are now fully integrated. Click the chat icon on the left to see all your web-side conversations.
A pro tip: use the chat area as a side session. If something seems helpful to your main task, just click “Add to task” to bring it into the current context. -
Chrome plugin becomes a new AI conversation entry point
Codex’s official Chrome plugin has been renamed to “ChatGPT.” Now click the plugin to open a sidebar and chat with GPT instantly — super convenient.
How to get it: Search “ChatGPT” in the Chrome Web Store.

OpenAI has launched an epic update for Codex, adding a Work area, multiple useful plugins, upgraded built-in browser (supports multi-tab, import Chrome accounts, etc.), enhanced front-end design capabilities, Ultra mode (multi-agent parallel task execution), and integrated GPT web chat functionality, greatly improving development and research efficiency.
@gkxspace: Now when I open Codex, I can hardly tell whether I'm writing code or using a computer... Watching tutorials: directly open YouTube on the right. Modifying webpages: circle something in the preview, and it finds the code itself. Operating Chrome: let it operate all logged-in websites, using the built-in browser's login state (one-click import all local cookies). Office work: articles, PPTs, spreadsheets, PDFs—all can be placed right next to it for editing. The best part is that everything revolves around the same task. Often you don't need to copy a webpage into the chat box or repeatedly explain \"what I was just doing.\" Suddenly a thought: humans have developed less than 1% of Codex's potential.
A tweet describes the experience of using Codex, noting that it can directly operate web pages, browsers, and office files in the editor, making users feel like they are using a computer rather than writing code.
@Leobai825: I've been using these Codex plugins too! Highly recommended! Use computer use and browser to build personal websites, and use Codex to directly deploy to GitHub and link with Vercel. It's really convenient, strongly recommend!
This article recommends several plugins for Codex, including computer use and browser, for building personal websites and deploying to GitHub and Vercel, emphasizing their convenience.
@Saccc_c: As a heavy Codex user, here are several plugins I frequently use daily: 1. The Desktop Operation Trio (computer use + chrome + browser) – All three can control your computer, but they differ in scope and scenarios: - computer use: Codex's unique treasure, with the widest range of operations. Suitable for native app operations, system settings, etc. - chrome: Takes over your real browser, ideal for tasks requiring site logins, generally faster than computer use. - browser: Uses Codex's built-in browser, best for local web development and debugging.
