It's not that I'm unimpressed by the results, it's that I think I'm saving time by pushing the agent along remotely, but the reality is that my messages to the agent(s) end up being a lot shorter, which inevitably leaves more up for interpretation. Don't get me wrong, I still use Codex (and sometimes Claude Code) remotely every day, and am overall excited for this release, it's just that the benefit wasn't as high as…
Just...write longer messages. Maybe it is age but I've written huge forum such as on HN all from my phone often with multiple tabs open to source various links for foot notes. When I type for an LLM, I will type a lot too if needed and will often even type a little, wait to think, then continue, over the course of like 15 minutes even, so that the intention of the prompt is correct since that saves much more time and…
It's a lot easier to write long messages on a phone with something like Whisper.
Re: Codex is now in the ChatGPT mobile app
#213Nice to see some catch-up with Anthropic and others, but this doesn't actually offer cloud coding agents (my favorite Claude and Cursor capability).
I want to code from my mobile device when my laptop is off or unavailable, pushing PRs directly to GitHub. Codex mobile only works with a desktop machine, at which point, I'll just use that machine, what's the point.
Re: Codex is now in the ChatGPT mobile app
#214Most of us are missing the point. This gives a direct access to my machine with just one tool and no setup ( apart from
Coded setup)
Now I can run scripts as hoc or stop my loss making stock market script without going through the hoops

#215(Someone deleted a comment about why you'd want a mobile Codex app. This is the answer I wrote.) Once you've used these coding agents a lot, you develop a pretty intuitive feel for how they work, what they're capable of, what they're good at, and where their weaknesses are. Hopefully, you're already pretty familiar with the code base you're working on. Combining the two, this means you can get quite far essentially "…
I am not sure I understand the time savings you're describing here. Do you mean you saved the "time to write prompt into the text input box" because you got to do that sooner from your phone rather than write down your idea and do it when you got back to your computer?
Wouldn't you be doing the exact same thing had you been sitting at your computer when you had the idea?
Perhaps the person who wrote that had the mindset of "when I am away from my work, I want to be disconnected and present with the world around me, this updates now makes it so that I now have an excuse to carry work with me"
Maybe they're in a toxic/abusive work relationship where taking breaks is already difficult and this might lead to justifying working from your phone as "expected"
My question to you is: what is wrong with moving a little slower? Is time to prompt an optimization of a real bottleneck?

You can use STT and include a workflow that automatically extracts the requirements (filters all the um's, ah's, pauses) and it becomes more like an interaction where you act as the Product Owner/Manager and Codex is your Architect/Dev.
At least, that's how I code through my phone. But it does require some forethought in establishing your automated workflows. I'm at the point where my entire dev system has established templates for CI/CD so I can preview work in staging and production is still a manual step (obviously).

#217The right way to do this is Google Jules: the boundary is a git repository, the interface is a chat window you can open anywhere (yes, even simultaneously), the output is a diff you can choose to merge. But, for whatever reason, no one uses Google Jules. I don't want my phone to have the ability to execute things on my computer. Much less with a LLM in-between!
because you can't rely on anything from them same for Antigravity, feels abandoned only surprising product that feels non google for me is Google Stitch https://stitch.withgoogle.com/
that's because it's an acquisition (http://usegalileo.ai/)

I'm not sure about others but I can't coherently voice my thoughts through speech alone as I'd want to think and revise the message, so I generally don't use voice transcription with AI.

Oh, I agree completely. I avoid loose language, revise my wording, and usually write prompts that require scrolling on mobile. It isn’t so much that I feel restricted, I guess it’s that mobile wasn’t as big of a game changer as it was ~6 months ago. My bandwidth feels more restricted by my own cognitive capacity (usually due to do context switching), rather than the limits of the model itself, and the mobile interfac…
That could be cool, no issues with Claude Code not working in third party harnesses or their recent changes about different (more expensive) billing for programmatic usage? I guess I generally use OpenAI models which don't care.
