@emollick I'm still not convinced this is the right design decision. It feels like they're copying each other's work based on the desires of the technical community, but the average user doesn't code or create. The UI is not approachable for most people.
@emollick one thing i link about having chatgpt chats in codex, is that i can hand off tasks to codex just clicking a button https://x.com/0x506c61746f/status/2077034468116758736/photo/1
@emollick And the ChatGPT chats from the app don't open in the regular screen, but on separate windows. Getting ChatGPT to chat on the ChatGPT app is chat-worthily hard.
@emollick In fairness to Claude I am in their Cowork web beta, in which the web UI matches desktop UI exactly

@emollick Copilot is even worse. Omg
@simonw Everything is confusing!
If you are use the Claude everything app, you pick between Home and Code. If you pick Home you get to pick between Chat & Cowork If you use the OpenAI everything app, you pick between ChatGPT Work & Codex. Chat is in a side menu. Both are different on their websites intuitive!
@emollick I'm fascinated by how different the "Chat" and "Work" modes in the mobile app are - I'm still trying to nail down all the differences but they are material On desktop "Codex" v "Work" is purely cosmetic
