The old ChatGPT is now ChatGPT Classic. Codex is now ChatGPT. There is a funny interaction in the Microsoft store, where ChatGPT turns into Codex when you click on it: https://f003.backblazeb2.com/file/sharexxx/ShareX/2026/07/Ap... (Also GG @ MSFT for opening a nag about Windows Hello twice while I wanted to stop the recording.)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> And the chat in Codex is badly broken and doesn't support the one feature I use in almost every chat. what is badly broken about it, and what feature does it not support? im a pretty casual user, so i guess i havent noticed this bad breakage.

Everything. The current implementation is unusable. If you see differently then probably you are looking at Codex chats, not chats .

It really is a mess. An hour or so ago, the download for macOS was called ChatGPT.dmg. However the app in there was still called Codex. But it installed ChatGPT. But it seems to be fixed now. Also, subtitling Work with "For getting work done" and Codex with "For developers" is a bit aggressive towards developers ;)

I have a longer version of this, but in summary So my understanding of the differences between chat, code and co-work; but may well be wrong! Chat is the human, talking directly to the LLM - old school. Very basic can create docs etc - but saves in a temp folder. No real access to your local PC. Cowork / work - Human talking to an agent, which can then use tools to do work. Also runs in a container, allowing it acces…

This is helpful but ... What's the distinction between Work and Codex again? Sorry for asking - but they read the same to me. It's just a focus on coding vs non-coding work?
