OpenAI launched Codex, an AI tool that automates coding tasks like fixing bugs, but could also help you make a dinner reservation.

We've been expecting it for a while, and now it's here: OpenAI has introduced an agentic coding tool called Codex in research preview. The tool is meant to allow experienced developers to delegate rote and relatively simple programming tasks to an AI agent that will generate production-ready code and show its work along the way.
