OpenAI has integrated its AI coding assistant Codex into the ChatGPT mobile app for iOS and Android users, enabling developers to monitor, manage and approve coding tasks remotely through their smartphones.
The feature is being rolled out in preview mode across all ChatGPT plans, including Free and Go, in supported regions.
With the new integration, users can connect the ChatGPT mobile app to machines running Codex, including laptops, Mac minis, devboxes and managed remote environments, and access live project updates on the go.
According to OpenAI, the mobile interface allows users to review outputs, approve commands, switch AI models, initiate new coding tasks and monitor ongoing threads without needing to return to their desktop systems.
“Real-time updates such as screenshots, terminal output, diffs, test results and approvals are synced to the mobile app, while files, credentials and permissions remain on the connected machine,” the company said.
OpenAI also said that more than 4 million users are now using Codex every week.
The company added that remote SSH support and hooks are now generally available across all plans, while programmatic access tokens have been introduced for Enterprise and Business users.
In addition, OpenAI said HIPAA-compliant use of Codex in local environments will be supported for eligible ChatGPT Enterprise workspaces, targeting healthcare and enterprise applications.
The company further announced that support for connecting the ChatGPT mobile app to Codex running on Windows systems will be introduced soon.
