It’s Codex Thursday, and yes, we have updates for you. First up: Appshots, a new way to bring the context of what you’re working on into Codex. On your Mac, press Command-Command to attach your app window to a Codex thread. Codex gets both a screenshot and text from the window, including content beyond what’s visible onscreen. Appshots are available across plans on Mac, with enterprise access coming soon.

Favorite part of this is the ⌘+⌘ trigger – sooo slick!

Today we’re releasing Appshots in Codex. I love this feature! It makes it so easy to integrate Codex into everything I do on my Mac.
