OpenAI has integrated its coding assistant Codex into the ChatGPT mobile app, allowing users to handle programming tasks remotely from their smartphones.
Codex is an AI-powered tool that helps developers generate code, fix errors, review changes and improve software projects. Earlier, it was mainly available on desktop platforms, but the new update extends its use to mobile devices.
With this rollout, developers can monitor ongoing coding tasks, approve changes, and track progress directly from the ChatGPT app. However, the actual processing and execution of code still takes place on connected systems such as cloud servers or computers, while the phone serves as a control interface.
The feature is being introduced in a phased manner for both Android and iOS users. It is aimed at making software development more flexible by allowing engineers to stay connected to their projects even when away from their workstations.
OpenAI said the update is part of its effort to improve productivity tools for developers as demand for AI-assisted coding continues to grow globally. The company is competing in a fast-expanding market for AI developer platforms.
Codex was initially launched as a desktop-focused tool to support coding assistance and automation. The mobile integration now allows users to interact with AI coding workflows in real time while on the move.
