OpenAI is merging Codex directly into ChatGPT, transforming it from a coding tool into a unified platform for agents, plugins, annotations, and automated company workflows. The biggest announcement is Codex Sites, a vibe coding environment built natively inside Codex itself.
The platform now ships role-specific plugins targeting data analytics, creative production, product design, sales, and finance. The video's most useful section, starting around 11:26, breaks down why these vertical plugins are startup killers, not just features, and what that means for software businesses built on narrow workflow automation.
The trajectory is clear: OpenAI is positioning Codex as the primary work interface for everything done on a computer. The annotations feature and the agent architecture details covered between 02:29 and 08:50 are worth watching closely, because that infrastructure is what makes the rest of this possible.
