OpenAI restores full ChatGPT app, adds Codex
OpenAI has updated its ChatGPT app to address user complaints by restoring the full in-app experience. The update removes the previously required popup window and enables users to toggle directly between ChatGPT and the Codex model.
Streamlining the app's interface by removing popup windows is a welcome usability fix, but the direct toggle to Codex highlights OpenAI's ongoing push to make coding assistance a first-class citizen of their mobile and desktop clients.
* Eliminating the popup window significantly reduces user friction.
* Direct integration of Codex caters to developer workloads on the go.
* OpenAI demonstrates responsiveness to user feedback regarding app design and layout.
