OpenAI launched a new desktop application for macOS called Codex, designed to allow developers to manage multiple AI coding agents in parallel, VentureBeat reported on Monday. The application transforms software development from a collaborative exercise with a single AI assistant into managing a team of autonomous workers, according to OpenAI.
The Codex app functions as a "command center for agents," allowing developers to delegate multiple coding tasks simultaneously, automate repetitive work, and supervise AI systems that can run independently for up to 30 minutes before returning completed code, VentureBeat stated. Sam Altman, OpenAI's chief executive, told VentureBeat that it was the "most loved internal product" they've ever had.
In other AI news, Asana CPO Arnab Bose stated at a recent VB event in San Francisco that shared memory and context are key to successful AI agents within an enterprise, VentureBeat reported. According to Bose, this provides detailed history and direct access from the get-go with guardrail checkpoints and human oversight. He added that this way, when you assign a task, you're not having to re-provide all of the context about how your business works. Asana launched Asana AI Teammates last year with the philosophy that, just like humans, AI agents should be plugged directly into a team or project to create a collaborative system. To further this mission, the project management company has fully integrated with Anthropic.
