OpenAI integrated its Codex coding tool into the ChatGPT mobile app, enabling remote monitoring and management of development workflows. The preview feature, available on all plans for iOS and Android, lets users access Codex live environments from any device. Users can work across threads, review outputs, approve commands, change models, and start new tasks from their phones. OpenAI previously added background processing capabilities to Codex on desktop and introduced a Chrome extension for browser sessions. The move intensifies competition with Anthropic's Claude Code, which released similar Remote Control functionality in February.
