Whats crazier is that Codex is free. I thought I had to pay to even try it out but nope, you can use the desktop app or cli for free, its apparently included in the free plan. You just have to sign in to your ChatGPT account. Of course I am aware that the caveat here is that all my interaction is part of training, but I’m fine with that. Even Qwen Cli discontinued the free plan.

I was really unimpressed by the free Codex (for nodejs/react dev). I think it must be using a less powerful model or they’re limiting it in some other way.

Post your chat session

i'm not sure if i'm hallucinating, but i swear i had codex in the chatGPT app from long time ago (like the original codex on the web). they added some new stuff, like remote control to wherever the desktop codex app is running, but these companies need to work much more on their press releases.

That was cloud codex. Not comparable

Is there a native way to work remotely with Claude/Codex on a local folder or git repo on your main machine without having to connect it to GitHub? For creating apps for personal use I’d rather just keep the files local. Edit: Running into issues setting it up on Windows. There's no "/remote-control" command in the CLI, so I installed the Windows Codex app. Then I updated the iOS app which now has the "Codex" feature…

That’s this announcement.

This is neat! Now I'm curious, what's left to innovate in the coding agent space? Sure there are the usual suspects like maintenance, security, reliability and other scalability improvements and looks like they will be addressed in the next year or two.

Is texting your Coding Agent really the final form? Something that watches your interactions or process execution to surface improvements, or whips up prototypes while you brainstorm seems like the next step.

Are you specifically pointing at a different experience between free + paid? Or just that the free version is unimpressive? I'm using paid on TypeScript and it's genuinely terrific. Subjectively I think it has the edge over Opus. I'd be surprised if OpenAI is hamstringing the free version. That would seem crazy from a GTM PoV. If anything the labs seem to throttle the heavy paid users.

Yes, the free version doesn't have access to the same models that the paid does.

I’ve been using Codex from my phone for the past couple of months (through a tunnel, not this app). I was initially quite excited, but I’ve found the results are less than great compared to being at a keyboard. Something about the smaller screen size and/or lack of keyboard causes me to direct the agent less, which in turn creates more tech debt/code churn/etc. Maybe I’m just showing my age, and I should practice voi…

I'm not sure I follow, you develop code on a remote machine by speaking to your phone and are unimpressed by the result?

I have been using Omnara now some months, on desktop and mobile. It's web/mobile remote for Claude and Codex.

I can do some tasks on mobile, especially if they are follow up and steering only, greatly increasing productivity as you can keep working whilst in transit, etc.

They are unimpressed by their (current) ability to use it, not the technology.

there is something "wrong" with the ux that is hard to pin down. these things generate even text summaries more rapidly than i can read them. i need a better method for dumping info into my brain + dynamic control (if necessary)

Tell it to create html summaries with diagrams and sidebar for navigation.

Or ask Codex to create image that explains xyz.
