What makes Codex useful for building websites is that it can install software packages, run a local preview server, track changes with Git, and publish the site to a web address.

A new version of OpenAI’s Codex desktop app reaches users today. It brings a smorgasbord of new features and changes, ranging from new developer capabilities to expansion into non-developer knowledge work to laying the groundwork for the company’s “super app.”
