Dan Shipper demonstrates OpenAI Codex piano teaching app
Dan Shipper posted a video of a macOS piano teaching application built with OpenAI Codex. The demo displays chord code snippets in a sidebar, a central piano roll highlighting notes such as C and G#, and a virtual keyboard that renders note sequences and chord progressions from natural language prompts in real time. The prompts and working code are published at piano.every.to, and multiple accounts on X shared the video.
Many users praise OpenAI Codex for its interactive piano teaching demos and app-building potential because it enables creative AI uses like chord guidance and MIDI integration, while a few worry the tool could replace human piano teachers.

@danshipper Love it!
Also 🤯 that Taylor has videos teaching these songs
You turned me on to Lizzy McAlpine awhile ago, she’s now one of my fav artists
I’ve been learning their version of Celebrate Me Home. I absolutely love the piano part

@danshipper @every I tried it with Meta AI and it turned out to be pretty good.

@pgbpgbpgbpgbpgb It truly doesn’t! Not the point of the video

@danshipper Oh this is why I randomly heard piano in the office yesterday

@tedescau @danshipper I would be so much more willing to be curious if all the AI lab clowns weren’t popping up on the news and telling me 50% of all jobs would be gone
Can’t be curious when you’re also constantly anxious

@danshipper This replaces all piano teachers, bye bye

@danshipper I'll trust codex once I see how it reacts to this guy

@hammer_mt #foundersatwork

@danshipper AI took over pinao teachers job
SIGH

@JeremyNguyenPhD @danshipper 'axis chord progression'. start with c major (g, c, a minor, f). grow from there as needed.

@danshipper Ab, G# same thing lol. Love the slob :P. But this is very cool and everyone shoudl try this to push themselves to understand music better!

@danshipper Gah!! This is so cool. I’ve been playing piano since I was 3 years old and this blows my mind that codex can give you this much insight into what you’re doing.

@danshipper I love how stoked you are 🔥

@danshipper I love your chords Dan! I hope you will plug that keyboard into your mixer and share more snippets with us in the future
