I gave ChatGPT Codex an article & screenshot from a famous, lost Maxis simulation, SimRefinery, and asked it to create it for me. It built a playable prototype for me while I did other stuff, never touching any code once, instead just occasionally poking Codex for small changes.

"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:

Codex is unusable. I generated one image with GPT Image 2.0, gave it to Codex, and used one simple prompt: “Create me a web game from this image.” You give it a simple image like this, and suddenly you realize you can build: • a voxel map • an editor • tile animations • a playable browser prototype This is getting ridiculous.

I love when Codex outsmarts me! Asked Codex to hack this badge that I got from Temporal's conference by putting Codex pets on it. I also gave it a photo of the badge along with it. Codex found the actual firmware of the badge on GitHub to have a starter 😂

I've been using 5.3 Codex for 3 weeks. It's an incredible model. I've built so much stuff with it. Made a vid showing everything I love about it, as well as a few call-outs of things I hope OpenAI changes.

Ok this is a truly insane NEW way to design for me, WITHIN Codex If you are doing dev on a web technology, watch below In that video: - I am playing my game within Codex (yes) - I use a codex-made tool to design buildings (see some tweets below it's really powerful) - I can ask Codex to iterate and the game changes WITHOUT refreshing - I can point at UI elements - I can take a screenshot All WITHIN Codex It makes iterating on design incredible

I asked jason (DevEx at OpenAI): “What’s the craziest thing Codex did for you?” Here’s his answer: “I was on a bike ride when a coworker asked me to fix a launch video. So I connected remotely from my phone and asked Codex to use computer use to edit the video, export it, and post it back to Slack. Twenty minutes later, there was a new video in the Slack thread. Then I told Codex: ‘Every 30 minutes, check the thread for feedback and export V2, V3, V4.’ By the time I got home, the launch video was greenlit.” Codex had handled the revisions by repeatedly checking Slack for feedback. 📌 Watch the full episode here:

I asked ChatGPT to turn everything it knows about me into a portfolio. Then I connected it to Gamma and it built an entire deck in less than 3 minutes. I did not design anything, I did not write anything special. ChatGPT already had the context, Gamma used the context to build something real. Here's exactly how I did it 👇 Open ChatGPT → Go to Settings → Click on Apps → Search for Gamma → Click on `refrence memories and chat` → Connect. That's it. Once connected, start a new chat and give ChatGPT a prompt about yourself. I typed: "Turn my past projects and interests into a portfolio" ChatGPT pulled everything it already knows about me and Gamma turned it into a full structured deck in minutes 🧵

1. Realistic Physics Game (Hexagon Test) Prompt: Create a HTML, CSS, and javascript where a ball is inside a rotating hexagon. The ball is affected by Earth’s gravity and friction from the hexagon walls. The bouncing must appear realistic. → Tests physics simulation, code planning, and visual realism. ChatGPT 5 won. Grok 4 lost. Note: I waited 7 minutes for Grok 4 to respond but it didn't worked and on the other hand ChatGPT 5 gave me a customizable canvas so I can play around with it. Check ChatGPT 5 output here:

The ChatGPT Mac app is the ultimate screenshot-to-code tool. Screenshot anything, paste it in the ChatGPT shortcut, and just tell GPT-4o to code it for you. Here's me taking a snapshot of Snake Game and getting fully working code in 90 seconds. Video is on 3x speed.
