OpenAI just released this week’s Codex desktop app update, and it includes a brand new feature on Mac called Appshots.
Appshots is now available for Codex for Mac, adding a new way to instantly provide context to your chat.
“On your Mac, press Command-Command to attach your app window to a Codex thread,” OpenAI says. “Codex gets both a screenshot and text from the window, including content beyond what’s visible onscreen.”
