OpenAI is quietly turning the Mac Codex app into an all-in-one platform Chat + Codex + OpenClaw, all under one roof.
- Foundation for rendering and reading images + video
- Heartbeat system (like OpenClaw)
- Model and thinking mode selection per task (like an OpenClaw agent manager)
- UI changes to make Codex less "for coders" and more universal
They're using the Codex app as the base and building everything on top of it.
