AI Engineer Code Summit: OpenAI on New Ways of Working With Codex

At the AI Engineer Code Summit, OpenAI Developer Experience engineers Dominik Kundel and Charlie Guo presented a workshop on new ways of working with Codex, covering the revamped Codex Cloud, voice as a control plane for managing coding work, and personal agents called dots. Kundel acknowledged the cloud transition has been awkward and said OpenAI wants handoffs between local and cloud tasks to be easier, while Guo described dots as useful as a safety net, a delegation sink, and a ubiquitous presence.
