> With Codex technology built-in, ChatGPT can now move beyond answering questions to getting real work done across web, mobile, and desktop. This looks like OpenAI catching up to Anthropic's Cowork.

The capabilities were launched months ago. This is just retiring the ChatGPT app and replacing it with Codex for the masses.

So, Claude Cowork for OpenAI? Feels overdue! I've loved using Cowork recently for sourcing decisions. Things where seemingly everyone's out of stock or questionably reputable, just let Cowork spin for 20 minutes, find the best new and best used options that meet your requirements, probably also suggesting a different item that does the job and is available for cheap.

Feels like forever in the AI world but Claude Cowork only launched ~5 months ago. So not that overdue.

I wonder why they haven’t simply continued to rebrand Codex as a general-purpose tool. ChatGPT Work is a convoluted name and continues the trend of having separate brands for separate things, what runs counter to OpenAI’s purported goal of unifying every workflow into a single “superapp”.

Worse still: what happens when your workflow involves both coding and general knowledge work? Are you expected to switch apps, or switch settings? To me, it sounds very confusing and inefficient, and not at all what I was expecting.

In my experience, claude cowork has been pretty much useless. for the desktop control, it just seems like the The accessibility stuff is just not there yet on macOS to support it.

Codex just started downloading an update and it's gone. It removed itself.

I guess it's supposed to be a part of ChatGPT now, but I cannot see any update there yet.

btw I kinda hate this, because ChatGPT was always very slow for me - possibly due to amount of historical threads I have there
