The Codex App

Re: The Codex App
#42Looks like they forgot the part of the code editor where you can… edit code. Claude Code in Zed is about the most optimal experience I can imagine. I want the agent on the side and a code editor in the middle.

#43It's basically what Emdash ( https://www.emdash.sh/ ), Conductor ( https://www.conductor.build/ ) & CO have been building but as first class product from OpenAI. Begs the question if Anthropic will follow up with a first-class Claude Code "multi agent" (git worktree) app themselves.
They have Claude Code web in research preview

#44Mac only. Again.
Apple is great but this is OpenAI devs showing their disconnect from the mainstream. Its complacent at best, contemptuous at worst.
SamA or somebody really needs to give the product managers here a kick up the arse.
Re: The Codex App
#45> "Localize my app and add the option to change units" To me this still feels like the wrong way to interact with a coding agent. Does this lead people to success? I've never seen it not go off the rails in some way unless you provide clear boundaries as to what the scope of the expected change is. It's gonna write code if you don't even want it to yet, it's gonna write the test first or the logic first, whichever yo…
I've had no issues with prompts like that. I use Cursor with their plan mode, so I get a nice markdown file to iterate on or edit myself before it actually does anything.

#46Genuinely curious if people would just let this rip with no obvious isolation?
I’m aware Mac OS has some isolation/sandboxes but without running codex via docker I wouldn’t be running codex.
(Appreciate there are still risks)
Re: The Codex App
#47This looks interesting and I use Codex a fair bit already in vscode etc, but I'm having trouble leaving a 'code editor with AI' to an environment that sort of looks like it puts the code as a hidden secondary artefact. I guess the key thing is the multi agent spinning plates part.

Maybe a dumb question on my side; but if you are using a GUI like emdash with Claude Code, are you getting the full claude code harness under the hood or are you "just" leveraging the model ?
Emdash is inducing CC, Codex, etc. natively. Therefore users are getting the raw version of each agent.
Re: The Codex App
#49Is there any marked difference or benefit over Claude Code?
It’s possible to run up to 4 agents at once vs. Claude Code’s single thread. Sometimes I’ll find meaningful quality differences between what agents produce.
Interesting. Has anyone found running multiple parallel agents useful in practice?
Re: The Codex App
#50Genuinely excited to try this out. I've started using Codex much more heavily in the past two months and honestly, it's been shockingly good. Not perfect mind you, but it keeps impressing me with what it's able to "get". It often gets stuff wrong, and at times runs with faulty assumptions, but overall it's no worse than having average L3-L4 engs at your disposal. That being said, the app is stuck at the launch screen…
Cool, looks like I'll stay on Cursor. All alternatives come out buggy, they care a lot about developer experience. BTW OpenAI should think a bit about polishing their main apps instead of trying to come out with new ones while the originals are still buggy.
(I work on Codex) One detail you might appreciate is that we built the app with a ton of code sharing with the CLI (as core agent harness) and the VSCode extension (UI layer), so that as we improve any of those, we polish them all.
