ChatGPT Work vs. Codex vs. ChatGPT...what the hell is going on? Tara Seshan explains. Also, ChatGPT Work == Codex.

@tarstarr Continuo não entendendo, igual a todos! 😂

@tarstarr If one needs to go, its gotta be chat mode! Chat and Work are easier to combine than Code

@tarstarr the naming is doing to openai what "apple music vs itunes vs did to apple. i genuinely told a client last week to "use codex" and they opened chatgpt and asked me if that was it. the product is great, the map to find it is not

@tarstarr Needing a podcast episode to explain which of your three products is which is usually a sign the org chart shipped before the product did. Three names, one codebase, and a positioning problem nobody wants to solve by deleting a brand.

@tarstarr the naming is very confusing now.

@tarstarr GTM version of this mess: if the agent cannot use Apollo, Clay, or your CRM, it is a chatbot. Work vs Codex only matters when it ships the list and the sequence, not another chat window.

@tarstarr Renaming the same product twice in one year is exactly why nobody outside OpenAI can keep their naming straight.

@tarstarr naming aside, the hiring signal is the same. candidates who can say which tool they picked and why win the loop. the ones who list all three lose it.

@tarstarr Naming chaos is the tell. Three labels. One capability. Zero shared operating layer. From the operating seat that's how tool sprawl starts — before anyone admits they bought point solutions again.

@tarstarr What's goodd It seems like we're dealing with some tech drama between Lenny and ChatGPT, unsure what's going on but Tarstarr broke it down!.

@tarstarr Lenny, you talk to the OpenAI team every other week pull some strings and get ChatGPT Pro onto the Product Pass already👀

@tarstarr Just use grok

@tarstarr ChatGPT Work equals Codex is the clarifying line. The naming was the confusing part.

@tarstarr codex needs a name before a score

@tarstarr so codex was just rebranded then

@tarstarr The naming is doing more damage than the roadmap at this point.
