Ep 778: Codex Goes Remote Control, claude Goes Small, notebookLM gets super Powers and 7 more AI features you Can’t skip out on

Computer use came out, but it was clunky. My connection to it broke multiple times. And the actual computer use inside of Anthropics Claude Cowork was slower than me trying to write out the transcript to this podcast left-handed. I'm I'm right-handed, but regardless, I feel I don't even write anymore. But that may have changed now because we just got OpenAI's updated Chat GPT app, which includes remote control access to codec.

Which my gosh, sirens blaring. I think this is one of the most anticipated small feature updates of the year that will make a big difference. And that's not all of the new AI that we got this week that you might have missed. Anthropic made a big play for small businesses. Microsoft is actually killing off some dedicated co-pilot features, but replacing it with something else. And notebook L LM got a ridiculously powerful upgrade that I haven't seen a single person mention.

Yeah, because unless you're literally reading our newsletter every day and going out and doing more research on your own, you can keep up with every meaningful AI update or new feature that gets added. And let's be honest, at least when it comes to the big four, that's OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot. Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini. There's new features every single week that change your workflows. So this is what we do on Fridays. We're doing a new-ish kind of show called uh fresh.

Friday features where we tell you here's what's new and here's how to use it. So on today's show, stick with me. This one is gonna be fast because Actually got like a fake root canal cleaning. My mouth hurts. All right. So if I sound weird, I'm not AI and I'll probably go a little faster today, but stick with me for 20-ish minutes and you're gonna learn why anthropic just dropped Claude inside of QuickBooks and PayPal.

You're gonna know the new way to control your coding agent from anywhere, and you'll understand why Microsoft just killed off co-pilot mode and what replaced it. All right, let's dive into it. Welcome. My name's Jordan, and this is Everyday AI. If you're new here, uh, this thing's for you. Uh, it's a daily

Unedited, unscripted, live stream podcast, and daily newsletter helping everyday business leaders like you and me keep up with the latest and greatest in AI. I tell you what matters, what doesn't, how to use it to grow your company and career. So if that's you,

Oh yeah. You're like, oh, that's what I'm trying to do. Cool. Me too. All right. Uh we do it all here live together, but make sure you go to your everydayai.com. There you can go sign up for our free daily newsletter. We're going to be recapping the highlights from today's show as well as all of the other Hot AI updates, you've gotta know. All right. So

Let's get into it. Let's look live. Here we go. Let's start with this one. Big move for small businesses from Anthropic. They introduced Claude for small business. So uh which I like this. All right. So uh obviously I I come from uh you know I I had another marketing company where we mainly worked with small and uh you know medium-sized businesses.

So I like a dedicated uh kind of um offering here from anthropic. So here's what it is. It's anthropic's first ever SMB focused package. Uh so it's built on Claude Cowork and it's essentially you might miss it. It's a little toggle inside of Claude Cowork that essentially installs you install it and then you can then connect uh Claude to QuickBooks.

PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace, and even Microsoft 365. So it also ships with 15 ready-to-run agentic workflows and 15 reusable skills.

Covering payroll planning, month end close, cash flow forecasting, invoice chasing, lead triage, contract review, and tax pre uh tax season prep. So essentially a lot of those. um, you know, routine and uh you know, I I won't say mundane, but yeah, mundane things that a lot of small business owners do, right? Even those things I just named off there. I'm like, I spent a lot of my time doing that, right? Running two small businesses. Uh so

Here's who has access. So it is available right now to paid users who can run cowork. So you have to have access to cowork. That's on the desktop. Uh so that's team and enterprise plans. Uh also don't train on customer data by default. Uh all right, and here is what uh how anthropic uh kind of markets it. Uh they say that we're launching Claude for Small Business, a package of connectors and ready to run ready to run workflows that put Claude inside the tools small businesses depend on.

to help small business owners take full advantage of AI and cross off Items on the to-do list. Small businesses account for 44% of the US GDP and employ nearly half of the private sector workforce. But their adoption of AI has lagged behind larger enterprises. Tools and training are rarely tailored to the way small business

Smith's small businesses operate. And as a result, their use often stops at the chat window. As part of our public benefit mission, we are committed to helping business owners harness AI more fully and effectively for their most important work.

Overage charging, all these crazy things. People are not happy. This is the I I'd say the lowest sentiment I've seen uh again uh towards Anthropic, maybe ever over the last week. So Seems like they're kind of splashing this in, like right. Like number one, I love it. Uh so you know, hats off to anthropic for doing this, but I don't know. To me, it's almost like they know people are mad at them. They see some of the moment momentum slipping away.

So, you know, they're trying to go in there and put on their nice PR hat. All right. So here's why it's useful. Well, the biggest thing is it closes the gap where small business AI usage, you know, typically stops at the chat window. Right. So what that means is by having these kind of pre-packaged. um, you know, these pre-packaged skills essentially, uh, you know, and these kind of ready-to-run agentic workflows, it will probably kind of close the gap uh for those small businesses.

that maybe don't have the skill set or just don't know how to piece it all together. So right now every task is user initiated and does require approval before anything sends, posts, or pays, which fits owners who can't afford a runaway agent. All right. So here's who's going to find it valuable. Well, I think if you're a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, you know, if you have like a under 50 employee company uh and you don't have a lot of dedicated specialists.

Um, Claude is not always the most efficient in how it uses tools. All right. So I'll just say this if you're on a base plan, a base pay paid plan or even the team plan.

And you're using these things and you're finding utility in them and you're using them a lot. I'm just letting you know, small business owners, you're gonna go through a ton of usage. You're gonna hit your um you're gonna hit your your your rate limits very quickly. I'll just say that. So Uh obviously this is a a money-making move for in profit, but I do think overall it's good for small business. All right. Next one.

This one, I don't know if I saw literally anyone talk about this. So this dropped on Tuesday. And I think it takes advantage uh of Google Workspace Studio, which might be Google's most underutilized. kind of tool. So if you've ever used Zapier, Google Workspace Studio is essentially their version of Zapier if your business runs on Google Workspace. Right. So if you have uh, you know, most most

companies are either Microsoft companies or they're Google companies. So if you're a Google company, you know Ask your IT or, you know, your system admin if you guys have Google Workspace Studio. If not, get it right away. It's really cool. You can have all these uh kind of pre-built flows. But now with this new feature, it's amazing.

So here's what it is. There's a new Ask Notebook LM step inside of Google Workspace Studio. Uh, and it lets you use existing notebook LM notebooks as a grounded knowledge source for studio automation flows, which is absolutely bonkers the ways that this can be used. And then it generates responses based on those insights, summaries, and research already in a notebook rather than an open web search or relying on Gemini's training data.

So who has access to this right now? So it did already start a rollout in a true Google fashion. We don't really know. It's just this slow rollout, but it has already started, right? So these

uh Friday features. We only cover new AI features that are available. Uh just might not be available to a ton. So it's rolling out uh to rapid release and scheduled release domains. Uh starting this week with full visibility. Uh Google did say by the end of the week, which is today. So if you didn't get it earlier this week, you might already have it. You do have to be on business starter standard plus enterprise.

uh plus education fundamentals all right all these you know google ai pro for education google has so many tiers I get it because they have like hundreds of millions of users. Uh but yeah, just make sure if you are the admin uh that you default this on uh for Gemini is enabled for your entire workspace. Make sure you have alpha features enabled as well. Uh and make sure that you uh have workspace studio uh enabled for your organization. So Here's what Google says about it.

They say we're integrating Notebook LM into Google Workspace Studio. This enhancement lets you use your existing notebooks as an AI knowledge source for your automations. You can use the new Ask Notebook LM step to generate grounded responses. on the insights, summaries, and research in your notebook. So uh like I said, if you haven't used Google Workspace Studio, it's amazing. So in this example here that I'm showing on my screen.

They have a very simple uh three-step flow that they're showing. So step one is when you get an email and then you can set conditions. And in this uh instance, they're doing a return policy. So you can set a condition to where if you get an email. And you can use Google to determine with natural language if someone is asking about a return policy. And then if they are, as an example, you can insert a notebook LM notebook in there as the source to answer those questions.

That's extremely important because Notebook LM still has a ridiculously unfair advantage over literally everyone, open AI, Anthropic, Microsoft, everyone, because they're the only ones that I think has this like grounding piece. figure it out because even if you use a project uh in Chad GPT in uh

Claude, even in Google Gemini, right? It can still pull in training data and not just the data that you upload. So uh the the grounding in Notebook LM is amazing. It's only gonna pull answers from what you get it. I've I've seen like, I don't know, I don't have a scientific

um, you know, number, but I'd say like a less than one percent hallucination rate, which is so, so good. Uh so if you haven't used this, you should check it out. So here's why it's useful. Well it closes the gap between notebook and lamb as a research surface. And then Workspace Studio as an automation surface. So your flows can cite your own sources. So this replaces kind of an open Gemini step.

Right. So this is what I used before, what a lot of people that were using Workspace Studio used. Right. And then the downside with that is, well, it can it's gonna pull from its own training data, which could be bad, it could be good, but then it can also pull from the wider web. So, this is just a way to constrain those responses and make sure that it stays in the lane of the data that you already have improved. There's so many different use cases.

So here's who's gonna find it valuable. Well, I think really anyone, but I mean, if you're in enablement, uh in enablement ops, knowledge management, if you're an educator, learning and development, marketing, uh, customer service, customer experience, whatever. Uh it's huge. So Uh this already has started to roll out, um, but I do think it's going to uh be fully rolled out in June. So yeah, make sure uh if you haven't already check out that you have access and have all those features enabled.

Because right now it's just on the API side, but it is rolling out. So here's what's new: this is OpenAI's new flagship voice model with what the company calls GPT-5 class reasoning. So it is a voice, a real-time voice model that reasons. So this was also launched alongside GPT Real Time Translate that translates between 70 plus input languages and 13 output languages, and also GPT Real Time Whisper, which is

Streaming speech to text. Yes, streaming. This also has a 128K context window, which is four times the context window of the old real-time voice, which is GPT real-time 1.5. And then you also have adjustable reasoning effort. for uh between low, high, and extra high. So if you do want to build something less like this on the back end, uh it's really easy. I've actually been uh you know toying around with this in codecs. You can just build yourself a personal

you know, real-time voice agent, you know, a super, right? I love codecs. So now I'm kind of building with this. uh kind of a real time voice model that can access all of my data uh in real time. So who has access right now? Uh well, it's live in the open uh in the open AI real time API. So as long as you are using uh the back end of OpenAI's dev platform, you have access to it. It's also reachable right now. I know this is a little more on the dev side.

But it's reachable via the Web RTC web socket. uh SIP it also supports the open AI agents sdk and also remote remote mcp servers which is a big one uh right now um i don't know if it's fully rolled out in the EU yet Uh so here's why it's useful. Well, it collapses the old transcribe plus reasoning plus synthesizing stack that used to happen.

uh into a single audio in audio out model with reasoning. That's the big thing, right? Because the previous voice model, even the advanced voice model, did not have reasoning. And it wasn't honestly very Good. Now this one is really good. Actually, their demo, I highly recommend you watch it. We did share it in the newsletter last week. So I'll make sure to share it again. Uh so yeah, make sure you go sign up for the free daily newsletter.

at your everydayai.com and make sure to under the uh GPT real time too, make sure to watch this demo because it is extremely impressive. So here's who's gonna find it uh valuable. Well any Voice agent developers shipping phone-based customer support, sales qualification, in-app voice flows. If you're working around anything with voice, real-time voice agents, this is huge.

Uh also companies running global support that previously stitched together transcription plus translation plus text to speech, right? So if you were using multiple, you know, uh kind of models before, which was the standard way to do it, especially earlier in you know, early twenty twenty five and, you know, before that, it was standard to have to stitch together two to three different models, right? One to transcribe, one to think and reason, uh, one to convert it back to tact.

Uh right. So this it just brings it all into one model. So here is what OpenAI says about it. They said, we've introduced three audio models in the API that unlock a new class of voice apps for developers. With these models, developers can build voice experiences that feel more natural, respond more intelligently, and take action in real time.

Uh so here they say GPT Real Time 2 is their first voice model with GPT 5 class reasoning that can handle harder requests and carry the conversations forward naturally. GPT Realtime Translate, a new live translation model that translates speech from 70 plus input languages to 13 output languages while keeping pace with the speaker. And GPT Realtime Whisper, a new streaming speech to tackle.

uh that transcribes speech live as the speaker talks. All right. And there's actually a real cool demo on that page as well that you can actually just do it in real time. So yeah, this thing, if you don't know how to use it, literally just go into codec. Yeah, you know, point it to this page and say, Hey, I wanna

I want to use this, so you have to, you know, set up your API key and everything like that. But once you do that, you can literally just talk to Codex and have it build you a personal voice assistant, right? That's something if I, you know, didn't spend 10 hours a day working on this podcast, I would already have an amazing one up and running. All right. Uh we have a lot more. Everything from uh what the heck did Microsoft do with co pilot mode uh to new updates with Claude.

code and codecs. But before we get to all those, let's take a very quick break for a word from our partner. Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience. Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the all-in-one creative AI studio.

Powered by Adobe's creative agent, Firefly AI Assistant lets you start with your vision, just describe what you want, and shape the outcome as it takes form with the assistant. The Assistant orchestrates multi-step workflows drawing on 60 plus prograde tools across Adobe Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator Premiere, Lightroom Express, and more to help bring your ideas to life.

You can also get started with Creative Skills, a growing library of pre-built workflows for common creative tasks like batch editing photos, creating mood boards, portrait retouching, and creating social variations. Every step the assistant takes is visible, so you can refine, redirect, or take over at any time. You stay in the driver's seat as the creative director. Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta. See it today at firefly.adobe.com.

All right. Our next Friday feature that I don't want you to miss. Again, a little more technical, but if you've ever wanted to build something and you weren't really sure how, this one is going to be for you. Yes, you need to be using codecs for this one.

Don't worry, go listen to Wednesday's episode. I covered a beginner's guide for codecs. That's episode 776. So there were like two and a half updates that impact codecs. So I go recommend you listen to that. But Our next one is the OpenAI Developers plugin for Codec. So this is a Codex plugin that connects Codex to the OpenAI platform. Uh uh, so it's three bundled capabilities.

So it connects Codex to platform.openai.com uh to create and wire up a project API key from inside codec. So like what I was just talking about, you know, using the real-time voice model. Now it's even easier to do something like that inside codec. Uh also you can diagnose common open API uh open AI API errors. And this also works together with the bundled open AI dock skills that ships with codec.

So who has access? Well, anyone using the Codecs app, right? So you just need to go look into the plugins and then look for OpenAI developer plugin. Uh and then you're off to the races. And here's why it's useful and who's going to find it valuable. Well, it just removes you having to go back and forth between the codex environment if you are trying to build something.

uh and just connect directly to open AI's platform. This makes building something easier than ever because yeah, a lot of times this is what I would be doing, right? I would have the the platform, right? Uh I think it's like platform dot open AI. dot com open and you know managing your API keys and looking up documentation. Now it's literally all just built into this plugin. Right. So when OpenAI says Codex is the super app, they mean it. Right. I'm even starting to use

uh the built-in browser more and more. Uh I'm using like chat or right. This isn't that meta. Uh but inside the Codex app, it's actually a great browser. That's where I use ChatGPT because I have Codex use ChatGPT. For me, because if I know I need to run a series of you know multiple prompts or you know multiple GPTs or multiple workspace agents, right? If I have to do things manually, I just have codecs do it and I say, all right, go do this and wait for two minutes.

Uh anyways, here's why it's useful. Uh so it can invoke uh it automatically when a task involves an open a uh open AI API setup. So once you have it linked up first. You know, building an agent, you know, from a one-line prompt is so easy because it can actually wire up all your credentials. And then it also adds first party troubleshooting for API errors.

That's huge. So you don't have to go, you know, looking, you know, I know people don't really go to Stack Overflow much anymore, but you don't have to ask, you know, open a new tab and ask ChatGPT why something isn't working and, you know, screenshotting things because it's all literally just built in.

So I think, you know, the people who are going to find this most valuable, uh developers who are prototyping uh apps and agents, you know, non-technical people who just want to build something and they're, you know, not sure where to start. Uh this is great. Also, teams using Codecs as their default agentic harness who want open AI platform actions to live alongside their plugins. They're gonna find it useful as well. All right, next. What the heck heck happened to Microsoft Ed?

So they kind of killed off co-pilot mode. Uh But most of the features are still going to live on. But yeah, copilot mode is uh at least as a dedicated mode is officially gone inside of the Microsoft Edge browser. So Microsoft is retiring the standalone copilot mode in its Edge browser and folding those AI features directly into the default browser on desktop in mobile.

So here's a couple things that are added and things that are new, things that aren't there anymore. So mobile gets near parity with desktop. Uh so that's nice now. There's not like two very different versions, and maybe that's one of the reasons why they killed the uh official co-pilot mode is to bring more parity if you are using edge on desktop and edge on mobile. Uh, so you also on mobile now get the multi tab reasoning that you previously had in co pilot mode in the edge desktop uh browser.

So essentially you get all these great mobile updates, right? You get the new uh the journeys, the long-term memory across pat past chats, which is really good. And you also get vision and voice, which is where uh co-pilot can see and understand what's on your screen.

So I mean just right there, right, a lot of people are there's some things I think a lot of people don't like, like the the history uh in the browser is not as clean as it once was because it's a little more conversational now.

So there's some things that people don't like about this update, but I think from a mobile perspective, if you're not married to a mobile browser right now, which I'm not, right? I saw this update. I have Edge on my phone and I'm like, okay, well, maybe I need to be using it.

So Google has slowly rolled out uh some more AI and um you know agenc features in Chrome browser, but it's kind of been a slow rollout. So, you know, at least when I saw this news, it's like, okay, this is high on my list of starting to do this week. And then there's also some new desktop only additions, including the new study and learn mode, which unfortunately Chat GPT got rid of.

Uh and then that turns open tabs into guided study sessions and quizzes. There's also a new writing assistant and a turn open tabs into a podcast feature, uh, which I'm gonna be checking that one out as well. So who has access? So it's rolling out now across Edge on desktop, iOS, and Android over the coming weeks. So yeah, these phased rollouts, right? When I say these things.

They are available to some and there's no, you know, rhyme or reason. Sometimes you'll get them right away. I've seen some people have gotten the new version of Edge, some people haven't. So Just make sure you open both the desktop and the mobile version. Uh, check for updates, you know, log in, log out. I know on the enterprise side, obviously a lot of companies use Edge. So this might be one of those worth checking out.

So it does remove that mental task of switching between a regular browser and a separate AI mode. So it's just kind of available everywhere. So you did have to enable uh co-pilot mode previously. So now it's just always on. And also bringing that multi-tab reasoning uh to mobile as well is great in the long-term memory. Let's Copilot pick up the research, shopping, or trip planning or whatever you're trying to do. So

Who's gonna find it useful? I mean, anyone, right? I'd say anyone if you're not married to a current browser, especially a mobile browser. Uh I'm a very heavy Chrome user. Uh it is worth noting that uh Edge is built on Chromium. So your Chrome extensions and all of your Chrome data can sync over. Uh so that's important to know.

And uh yeah, so I I think at least the big benefit here is getting more mobile AI features sooner uh because those unfortunately are a little bit slower to roll out to Google Chrome. All right. We have two more. We'll go through them here quick. Next is Claude Code. Taking a page out of the codex playbook and they brought goal mode uh to the uh command line version of Claude Code. So this is not the desktop version, right? The Claude Desktop.

This is if you're using Claude Code in the command line uh interface. So it is a new slash command in Claude Code that was released this week that sets a completion condition and cleep keeps Claude working across. turns until the condition is met. Right. So instead of giving Claude a prompt, uh, well, you just give it a condition to meet. So this has obviously been a very popular feature in codecs, the command line version.

And the OpenAI team did confirm that they are bringing this to the desktop version. So right now it's not available in Claude Desktop or in Codex Desktop. Uh but it is now available officially in both of the command line tools. So if you are more on the technical side, you know, this is pretty good. So essentially after every turn, there's a small fast evaluator model. So Claude Code uses high uh haiku by default.

that reads the conversation and decides yes or no on whether the condition actually holds, right? Um and then goal auto clears when met. It can be cleared with a goal a slash goal clear. And works in interactive mode, headless mode, the desktop app uh It says the desktop app, but I didn't see it working on the desktop app and also remote control. So who has access to this? So yeah, if you're on the latest version of Claude Code, you have to be on a paid plan and you should have access. So

Here's why it's useful. Well, it separates the worker from the judge, right? So the model writing the code isn't the one declaring it. done, right? And that session keeps going to a fresh evaluator each turn. And it eliminates the, you know, kind of the common check-ins that you have, right? The keep going or did you finish? Or, you know, make this better. Right. It it it's kind of like a a a simplified version of the Ralph loop that was very popular, you know, three to six months ago. Um and

Probably we're going to talk more about goals in the future as they start rolling out to all the desktop apps as well. Because I actually think that goal planning in the short term, right? Until we get these fully autonomous agents, which we're not there yet. Right. We have agents that can schedule, but when you get the goal command, I think that is the next big step uh toward fully autonomous agents, right? And you do have to change, I think, how you use and how you prompt.

uh these systems with the goal in mind versus giving them a command. And it does require, you know, more oversight and just refining your skills a little bit more because let's be honest. It's not very hard or even time consuming always to get an agentic model or an agent off and running or scheduled. What it does take a little bit of practice doing is getting it to properly work toward a goal.

Right. That's where your language and you know, kind of those, you know, quote unquote old school prompting skills from 2023 really start to pay off, right, when working toward a goal because You know, it's one of those things. If you're uh you know, the saying is if you're one degree off your goal, eventually that ship is gonna be lost at sea. And I think the same thing can be said for these new slash goal commands. So like I said.

Cod X was first to this in the command line interface. Now Claude Code following suit. But uh regardless, uh the The reception to this one hasn't been as positive. Most people, I haven't used this one yet in Claud Code. Um, but most people have said that they're it this one's a little clunky, it feels rushed. That's not me, that's just the overall sentiment so far. All right. And then last but not least, this is the big one codex in ChatGPT now. They are starting to get married.

All right. So this was just announced yesterday afternoon and Codex is now live inside of the ChatGPT mobile app. So your phone can now connect to. and control a codex instance running on another machine. So this is OpenAI says it's more than just a remote control for a single task.

as the mobile app loads the live state of a connected machine and lets you work across all active threads, approvals, plugins, and project context. And it updates Uh updates the stream to the phone in real time, including screenshots and

terminal outputs, diffs if you're looking at differences between you know one put a one output and another, test results and approval prompts, files, credentials, permissions, and local setup stay on the host machine. So this is big. Uh and I do uh I do want to scroll through here in this video. You know, this is a little newer here, but I do believe I'm just checking here. I think you can control.

I should have I should have checked this before uh before starting. But I actually think yes. Okay, so the thing here, which I absolutely love, is you can control multiple computers with this. So For people, if you are an entrepreneur, solopreneur, just someone with multiple computers like me, I've talked about this a lot. I for the most part use three separate Macs um on a day-to-day basis. So this one for me is big because uh unfortunately the dispatch.

Um the dispatch version uh on Claude. So it's the Claude iOS app uh controlling the Claude desktop app, the dispatch. goes to Claude Cowork, but it doesn't go to Claude Chat. It doesn't go to Claude Code. So it's a little disjointed. And mine was always breaking. It's still broken. I had to literally uninstall uh quad and you know all this, but this is one thing I love in codex. Aside from it's just one.

Uh, you know, one interface. There's not a separate chat cowork code, right? It's just one. But you can control multiple computers if you are using multiple computers with the same account. So that's great. I can literally be off. I don't know in the Costco parking lot. And I can be running things on my laptop and running things on my Mac Studio. So pretty cool. So who has access? Well, if you have.

Well, everyone has access, right? Because Kodaks, even though the limits aren't great on a free plan, uh, right, if you have a basic uh paid plan, you're gonna get the same limits as you would on a hundred dollar a month. Uh, you know, the twenty dollar a month Chat GPT plan is as good or better in terms of limits than the hundred dollar a month anthropic max plan. Um, so if if you have a free or a pay plan, just make sure to check in your uh chat gpt app. So this isn't a codex app.

uh that's coming out to iOS. This is just the normal Chat GPT app. What's weirdest to me is it didn't unless it updated in the background, I didn't even have to update it. It was just there. And then you compare, uh then you compare it and then you're off to the race uh you're off to the races. So Uh codecs on Windows though is not yet supported, but OpenAI did say support for that is coming soon. So

Here's why it's useful and who's going to find it valuable? Well, it lets you approve and run codecs nonstop. And I think a lot of people, like I talked about on Wednesday show, make sure to go listen to that 776. I think it was one of my better shows I. maybe ever done, uh, because I think it's that important, right? OpenAI has said codecs is the new super app. Uh so for nearly 900 million people who are using ChatGPT, yeah, you gotta start getting familiar in Codec.

But also it uses a secure layer so trusted machines stay reachable across devices without being exposed to the public internet in active session state. sync anywhere you're signed in with Chad GPT. So I think engineers are obviously gonna love this if you're doing long running tasks. Uh teams who are already developing inside of managed remote environments via remote SSH, which is a new feature.

Uh well now you just get foam side approval flows on top of those environments. Uh also if you just have Right. The great thing about Codex is, well, it works like a human. Its computer use is unmatched. It can control, you know, your Chrome on desktop. Um, you know, the it there's so many things it can read and write to any folder that you give it access to. So literally at any time, it can open up other apps on your computer, it can open up other websites, it can do anything that you can do.

Right. If you sit down and work with it. So it is a general knowledge working behemoth all in one. Right. Where unfortunately anthropic, it's three different silos that don't have memory. Codex is very different, it is much more powerful. So now you get all that on the go. For me, this is the thing I've been most looking forward to, not gonna lie, uh, in like three months.

Right, because there's been a lot of rumors of this. So it's finally here. I think it's by far uh the biggest update. Here is what OpenAI says about it. They said Codecs is now in the ChatGPT mobile app. So you can stay in the loop from anywhere while Codex gets work done across your laptops, dev boxes, or remote environments.

As agents take on longer running work, a new rhythm for collaboration is emerging. To keep work moving, you need to be able to easily answer a question, review what Kodaks found, change direction, approve what comes next.

Or add a new idea. More than 4 million people now use Codex every week, and we're seeing how much those small moments matter. A quick Check in can keep a thread moving, prevent unnecessary rework, or help codecs make progress with the right context. Now you can do that all from your phone. All right, this is a great one. All right, so that's a wrap for this week's fresh. Friday features. If you missed any of these.
