Summary
OpenAI pushed Codex beyond code generation into computer use, browser work, SSH devboxes, plugins, memory, and automations.
What changed
OpenAI's April 16 update gave Codex computer use, an in-app browser, PR review support, SSH devboxes, memory preview, image generation, and scheduled follow-up work.
Why it matters
This narrows the gap between a model vendor and the daily software-delivery surface teams actually use.
Evidence excerpt
