Open AI We're seeing coding be one of the leading applications of artificial intelligence tools, and Open AI is continuing to expand on its offerings in that space. The company has launched a Chrome extension for its Codex platform. The new browser-based capabilities of the plugin include testing web apps, collecting context from across open tabs and using Chrome Dev Tools in parallel while the user performs other tasks. This extension could also help Codex be more appealing to casual users and additional professions beyond developers since so many computing tasks happen in browsers.
