Summary
OpenAI has announced that Codex, its AI coding assistant, is now available in the ChatGPT mobile app as a preview feature. Users can start new coding work, review outputs, steer execution, and approve next steps directly from their phones while Codex continues running on local machines—laptops, Mac minis, or development boxes. This enables a hybrid workflow where control and monitoring happen on mobile while the actual computational work remains on more powerful local hardware. The feature is rolling out today on iOS and Android across all supported regions, with Windows phone support arriving soon.
