OpenAI's Codex now runs natively in Chrome on macOS and Windows, enabling it to automate repetitive browser tasks across tabs in the background by writing code to navigate complex data flows.

What: OpenAI has released a version of Codex that operates directly within the Chrome browser on macOS and Windows, functioning in parallel across tabs without monopolizing the browser, and automating tasks by generating code.

Why it matters: This marks a significant step towards more integrated and autonomous AI agents directly within user workflows, moving beyond dedicated AI interfaces to embed intelligence into existing tools like web browsers.
