For musician and composer Michael Wall, Codex works like a studio assistant. He asks for a piano track in 3/4, sets the tempo and harmony, then describes how the performance should build. Codex handles the setup in Ableton Live. Michael stays focused on the creative work.

@sound4movement This is insanely cool. Codex turning into a real studio co-producer. The way it just gets the build-up and handles all the Ableton busywork is next-level.

@sound4movement It is truly beautiful to see how technology can act as a silent partner in art, my friend. By handling the technical weight of setup, it allows the human soul to remain free for what matters most: pure, unfiltered creativity. A wonderful synergy between tool and talent! ✨🎹

@sound4movement This is exactly where tools like OpenAI Codex shine turning musical intent into structured setups in Ableton Live so creators can stay fully in the composition flow.

Iris3 months ago

@sound4movement The interesting shift is creative tools becoming better at handling setup without flattening the creator’s intent. That’s where AI starts feeling less like automation and more like leverage.

Vladislava Synenko3 months ago

@sound4movement What DAWs can Codex integrate with besides Ableton? Also curious how it controls Ableton—Live API, Max for Live, MIDI scripts, or something else? And what happened to the Music AI tool for creators? Musicians really need AI built for composing, arranging, stems, and production.

Can AI really replace SaaS? We asked Codex Spark to build a simple Salesforce clone. It generated a build plan, then wrote all the code in 29 seconds. And it works! Add contacts, live search, full pipeline dashboard – all unit tests passed. The same task on full Codex took ~5× longer. For rapid prototyping and self-contained work, nothing beats Spark. ✨

I use subagents for ~80% of my Codex tasks these days. If you're new to subagents, here's a quick primer: - Subagents = separate agents that work on a specific piece of work in a fresh isolated context window. - Your main thread can create subagents and delegate work to them. - Subagents report back when tasks are complete. - Codex subagents are especially useful for read-heavy tasks (e.g research, investigation, and review). - Also useful for testing and building parts of a project in parallel. Subagents are great for working on focused parts of a big task, like planning, implementation, testing, or review. My biggest pro tip for using subagents in Codex: You don’t have to design the entire delegation plan yourself. Just ask Codex to “Use subagents as needed,” and then Codex can then decide where subagents would help it in the task. Here's a demo of using subagents in Codex:

Codex /goal With Hermes Agent is life-changing. I updated my Hermes agent skill to give Codex a goal on the fly using Telegram and track each one of those codex goals in a Kanban board. It has been really insane to see and track Codex execute goals in the wild.

OpenHands crushed Codex by 2.3× on token efficiency! We gave both agents the same task on the same model (Qwen3.5 35B): build an 8-bit Space Invaders in 3 iterations (build, fix, polish). Output: • OpenHands: 219K tokens, • Codex: 513K tokens, OpenHands beats Codex in local running. The difference is in how they handle context. OpenHands reuses the unchanged data across every pass and only pays for new tokens, while Codex re-sends and re-counts it every iteration. OpenHands finished a bit slower, but on local runs, tokens spent are the real cost.

New open source project: Easel, a macOS workspace for AI-assisted product design and frontend iteration powered by the Codex SDK. Think of it as "Claude Design for Codex." It brings together a local project library, design-system setup, Codex chat, and a live web preview with a point-and-click inspector. Set up your design system however you like. Import one from Figma , bring your own, or have the agent generate it as a design.md. Then use it to build prototypes and slide decks. Codex-first, with Claude and other AI providers and local models planned for future releases. OpenAI Developers

Three months ago, Codex was trash for knowledge work. Now it's my daily driver. I use it for writing, recruiting, deep engineering work, and everything in between. It even keeps me at inbox 0. I chatted with Every 🧱's head of growth Austin Austin Tedesco on Every 🧱's AI & I about what changed, and why he now spends 80% of his working time in the Codex desktop app too. We get into: - How Codex went from making Austin feel like an idiot to being the place he goes to get stuff done, including complex tasks like writing go-to-market plans using existing material from Slack, Notion, and meeting transcripts. - Why the Codex’s desktop app, which is faster and more reliable than Claude Desktop/Cowork, is the real differentiator. - How I source candidates with Codex by having it identify career arcs, not keywords—my go-to move is identifying organizations likely to teach the skills Every needs for a role, and then find candidates from that pool who have since gone on to work in AI. This is a must-watch for anyone who's wondering whether it’s finally time to give Codex a try. Watch below! Timestamps How Codex went from a tool for senior engineers to a daily driver for knowledge work: 00:00:57 How Claude Code proved that a great coding agent works for any knowledge work: 00:02:42 Austin's switch to Codex: 00:07:24 How Austin set up Codex with folders, keys, and reviewer agents: 00:13:48 Using Codex to brainstorm automations across Gmail, Slack, and Notion: 00:18:24 How Austin manages the human review step when Codex is drafting communications: 00:22:42 Using Codex to build specialized agents inspired by product executive Claire Vo: 00:28:54 Synthesizing meeting transcripts and Slack threads into a go-to-market plan: 00:31:09 Building a live KPI tracker in Notion that agents can read: 00:40:15 Using Codex for recruiting: 00:44:54

This is crazy, I can talk to OpenAI's realtime API, and it'll respond back with voice, and then help call Codex to help me code! Got curious about Codex and its realtime integration, and found codex's feature flag `realtime_conversation` integrated for the codex app-server. How it works: - launch codex app-server with realtime - connect a client to realtime through WebRTC voice connection - Codex app-server is also attached on the side - talk to realtime - realtime decides whether coding is needed, and responds back with events - Codex app-server takes these events and runs codex agent turns - codex writes code like your codex cli exp Keep in mind OpenAI hasn't released this officially, they're still actively working on it, I just created a fork. This is a completely new UX than the usual chat interface for agentic coding. For example, when the agent responds back in voice, it's actually faster for me to read the response, and I don't actually find voice response that useful unless it does so in the background. But image realtime working in the background, you can talk to it, realtime keeps track of the different agents working on your tasks and your status. More to come on demo side, i'll make a more polished version and include voice, but thought this was cool to share. You can see in the responses the distinction between my voice input, realtime response, and realtime calling Codex to do work!

"People assume prototyping requires writing code, but Image Gen is simply much faster." Rohan (Codex PM) showed me exactly how he does it: "I took a screenshot of the Codex composer where you can type in a new message. Then I asked Codex to use Image Gen to prototype 4-5 ideas to improve project selection. I can then ask it to take the first image and make a prototype of it on a Codex site. We usually think of Image Gen as useful for things like turning my hair blue. But it can create amazing digital mocks too." 📌 Full episode:

You should be using subagents in Codex! They let Codex split work across specialized agents, explore in parallel, and bring the results back into one focused answer. Great for bigger codebases, PR reviews, and anything that needs more than one thread of thought!!

How to use Open Design inside Codex: Ask Codex to deploy Open Design locally, then tell Codex what you want to build. The real unlock: Codex can operate the design tool for you — choosing workflows, filling briefs, inspecting files, testing interactions, and iterating on the result. Design tools are becoming agent-operated.
