OpenAI has announced a new way to interact with its Codex system from your smartphone. An update to ChatGPT for iOS is bringing remote access to Codex for Mac to the iPhone.

While Codex is a standalone app on the Mac, OpenAI is putting remote access features inside the ChatGPT app for iPhone.

“Codex is now in the ChatGPT mobile app so you can stay in the loop from anywhere while Codex gets work done across your laptops, devboxes, or remote environments,” OpenAI announced today.

OpenAI points to uses around approving Codex tasks and starting new prompts for the system from your phone while you’re away from your computer.

As agents take on longer-running work, a new rhythm for collaboration is emerging. To keep work moving, you need to be able to easily answer a question, review what Codex found, change direction, approve what comes next, or add a new idea.
