OpenAI just published a new Codex use-case page, and it’s basically a catalog of what teams are already handing over to coding agents: engineering work, product work, QA, security, data analysis, internal tools, and even life-sciences workflows.
Some of the coolest examples:
⬩ Reviewing GitHub PRs and understanding large codebases
⬩ Turning screenshots or visual references into responsive UI
⬩ QA-testing apps by clicking through real user flows
⬩ Refactoring legacy code, running migrations, and fixing vulnerability backlogs
⬩ Drafting PRDs, analyzing datasets, building internal apps, and assisting life-sciences research
This is what coding agents look like when they stop being a demo and start becoming part of daily work.
