Summary: OpenAI launches Codex app for macOS

Why It Matters: OpenAI is moving from a simple coding model to a full software tool. This new app works directly on a developer's computer to handle complex tasks like refactoring and background automation.

What Changed:

• Added a dedicated landing page for the Codex app.
• Launched a downloadable Codex application for macOS.
• Introduced "Skills" which allow the tool to follow specific team coding standards.
• Added "Automations" for background tasks like issue triage and CI/CD monitoring.
• Integrated Codex across the app, code editors (IDEs), and the terminal.
• Announced a limited-time offer for 2x rate limits on paid plans.
