OpenAI has announced several new updates for Codex, its AI-powered coding agent. The company says Codex is now being used by more than 5 million people every week, with a growing number of users coming from non-technical backgrounds. According to OpenAI, around 20 per cent of Codex users are professionals such as marketers, analysts, designers, researchers, bankers and investors. To support these users, the company has introduced new role-specific plug-ins, the ability to create interactive websites and apps and more.

One of the biggest additions is a new set of plug-ins designed for specific professions.

These plug-ins combine instructions, integrations, and relevant context to help Codex handle tasks related to each profession.

Codex can now create interactive websites or apps
OpenAI has also introduced a new feature called sites. With this update, Codex can turn ideas, documents, plans and data into interactive websites and lightweight applications. OpenAI describes sites as a “new kind of canvas for your ideas.” The sites can be shared through a URL, making it easier for teams to collaborate.
Easier editing with annotations
Another new feature is annotations. This allows users to highlight a specific section of a document, slide or spreadsheet and ask Codex to make changes only to that selected area. “Codex focuses the update on the part you selected, so you can refine your work without starting over or reworking the parts you already like,” the company explained.
Availability
The new role-specific plug-ins are rolling out in supported regions and can be installed from the plug-in directory. Meanwhile, the sites feature is currently available as a preview for Business and Enterprise customers.
