OpenAI Codex in ChatGPT Mobile App: Coding On-the-Go

OpenAI has launched its AI coding assistant, Codex, within the ChatGPT mobile app for iOS and Android users. This update allows developers to manage coding tasks directly from their smartphones. Here's the thing: Codex lets users monitor active coding tasks, review outputs, and manage new coding jobs remotely. It also enables switching between models and workflows and tracking code execution on connected computers. What's interesting is that Codex still runs on a connected desktop or cloud environment. The phone acts as a control and monitoring hub, displaying terminal logs, code diffs, and test results in real-time. This new feature supports bug fixing assistance, codebase Q&A, feature development suggestions, and pull request generation. It also offers real-time code review workflows. It's available as a preview feature across all ChatGPT plans. The bottom line: This integration turns your phone into a control center for AI-powered software development, letting you manage coding work from anywhere.
