Codex is going mobile. The coding tool — which Open AI launched approximately a year ago — has now been integrated into the Chat GPT app, allowing users to monitor and manage their development workflows remotely.

The new function allows users to see their Codex live environments in any devices where it is running. The company announced the changes Thursday; the update, which is currently in preview, is now available to all plans on i OS and Android.
