Having Codex handle all the Google Cloud settings itself (using its in-app browser) is so awesome

Why don't you make it use the CLI? 🤔

@CastAsHuman I didn't know there was a CLI for Google Cloud, good to know!

Yeah, codex uses it nicely.

Nice work @ajambrosino

You know it’s AGI when it can find something in Google cloud console.

yeah codex computer use is magical, or in Greg’s words, viscerally compelling

that menu system in Google Cloud is the most horrendous UX of any software I’ve ever used This should be a new AI benchmark of some kind

This is genuinely the most compelling AI use case I’ve seen yet. The number of hours I’ve spent clicking hopelessly through that GUI

💯

@TheRealAdamG wrestling the GC UI is for Cenobites

stuff like this is my no. 1 use case for computer use. I'll burn a ridiculous amount of tokens to ensure I don't have to fiddle with the depths of advanced settings for literally any app/website

Glad you like it Lenny! Have you found it useful/struggle at anything else? Would love to get your feedback

So far so good! Just slow, but I'm sure you know that. Great work.

Thank you! Latency is a big focus for the team. Any use cases that it would unlock for you, if it’s say, 3-5x faster?

Nope. Just less waiting.

random question, but do you still pay for superhuman

@JamesZmSun

You never used opus and fable that will halicrinate as fuck and consume all your limits on doing fucking nothing

You don’t even need that. Just hook the agent directly to Google. Make changes directly

THIS. Seriously. This shit is 1/2 of devops.

@TheRealAdamG now it is time to make your codex to work in a team

That's one way to improve the Google cloud experience 😅

We’ve gone full circle. Browsers with AI attached to AI with browsers attached.

i have configured database in firebase also try that also

I just wish there were multiple browser tab support

YES! Also having it handle things like tracking, setting up tag mangers etc. It just does its thing and in the end it just works. Awesome usecase.

soon, my account was hacked, 150k bill from google, don't know how it happened...

Did it use much usage?

Codex with gcloud CLI is magic. Never opening a cloud dashboard again.

The browser/control part is where Codex starts feeling less like autocomplete and more like an operator. The next unlock is making it leave receipts every time it touches something risky. "Did the thing" is cool. "Did the thing and proved it" is the real product.

Why don’t we use the GCP CLI?

This is the real shift with the new generation of coding agents. They are not just writing code anymore, they are navigating UIs, reading docs, and handling the whole setup end to end. The line between "developer tool" and "autonomous engineer" is basically gone at this point.

You don't like doing it yourself ?? Yet it is SOOO much fun since that it is all so clear and all in the google console

Letting it loose with the GAM CLI tool saves me hours of google cloud administration. You should check that out @lennysan if you haven't already.

This is the shift: SaaS used to lose users at the Settings page. Agents can turn the Settings page into labor. If Codex can survive GCP IAM, every onboarding flow just got a much higher bar.

This was a big relief for me when codex was able to help out with onboarding new users to my existing account

This is what I do for all types of configuration, I iust login and let it do the thing Super useful for appstore connect aswell

Good job

WebCLI IS THE WAY

Believe me

Would highly recommend the gcloud CLI and/or terraform. *So* satisfying to see the agents triage issues and scaffold infrastructure using them. IaC/Terraform is also an amazing way to provide infra context to Agents.
