Summary: OpenAI launches Codex app for macOS

Why It Matters: OpenAI is moving from a simple coding model to a full software tool. This change targets developers directly with a dedicated app, terminal integration, and automated "agent" features that handle coding tasks on their own.

What Changed:

• Replaced the general homepage with a dedicated product page for the Codex app.
• Added a "Download for macOS" button for the new Codex desktop application.
• Introduced "Automations" which allow Codex to perform background tasks like monitoring alerts and triaging issues.
• Added "Skills" features to help with code reviews, documentation, and prototyping.
• Launched a command-line interface (CLI) for using Codex directly in the terminal.
• Added a "App Integrations" link under the Business menu.
• Introduced a limited-time offer for 2x rate limits on paid plans.
