When you start thinking of Codex more than a coding agent. Then you start understanding Ai .
The underrated thing about Codex:
> It lets you bring your work into the agent, not just bring the agent into your work.
It is subtle, but also profound.
When your browser, apps, files, notes, terminal, screenshots, and repo context all live in the same Codex workspace, your agent doesn't just do one-off tasks anymore.
Your agent is building a context to develop within.
It makes Codex less of a task-executor and more of a colleague or thinking partner.
The question becomes:
not “what can my AI agent do for me?”
but:
“what can my AI agent do with me?”
Example: open a research paper in the Codex in-app browser and do research with Codex at your side while you read it.
