OpenAI's coding agent — hand off tasks from web, IDE, terminal, or your phone
Codex is OpenAI's autonomous coding agent, powered by the GPT-5 model family. It runs multi-step tasks — building features, fixing bugs, opening pull requests — in isolated cloud sandboxes wired to your GitHub repos, and can run several tasks in parallel. Drive it from the web, the VS Code extension, the CLI, or iOS. It's bundled into ChatGPT plans, so if you subscribe to ChatGPT you may already have it.
Bundled with ChatGPT: limited free tier; Go $8/mo; Plus $20/mo; Pro $100–200/mo for 5–20× capacity. Credits refill on a rolling 5-hour window.
Last verified — pricing changes often; trust the date, not the internet.
Best for: ChatGPT subscribers who want an agent shipping PRs while they do something else
