OpenAI brings Codex into ChatGPT as users keep tuning outputs and workflows

OpenAI is bringing the full Codex experience into the ChatGPT app, so users can access coding capabilities without switching to a separate application. The same announcement adds Agent Plugins, Sites, and annotations aimed at research, analysis, content creation, presentations, dashboards, prototypes, and internal apps. neowin.net

That move fits a broader push to push AI beyond the standard chat box. One analysis argues that the chatbot interface is becoming a barrier to daily workflows, even as new features like Canvas, Artifacts, Codex, and Antigravity try to move LLMs deeper into the tools people already use. xda-developers.com

At the user level, the conversation around ChatGPT is still about getting better results from it. One guide highlights eight underused ChatGPT tricks, arguing that better questions and better habits can unlock much more of the tool’s capability than the default search-style use most people rely on. androidauthority.com

Here’s the exact version I’ve been using lately: “Take this research and do what butter does to a recipe. Go beyond surface-level summaries. Expand on hidden implications, connect related ideas, identify patterns, strengthen weak areas and add meaningful nuance without becoming repetitive or bloated. Prioritize insight density, clarity and useful context.” I created this prompt because it's a simple way to enrich the analysis, connect ideas together and identify any hidden implications. My grandmother always told me to use real butter when I cook because "the real thing" adds more flavor and r

Why run an AI chatbot locally?

Igor Bonifacic for Engadget For a lot of people, the most appealing reason to use a local chatbot will be the amount of money you can save. Right now, running a local model on your iPhone involves, at most, a one-time purchase of $5. Compare that to a subscription from any of the big AI labs. For instance, if you want to use ChatGPT without ads, you'll need to spend at least $20 per month on OpenAI's Plus plan.

If you've been hearing a lot about AI Agents and OpenClaw, you're probably wondering what it all means — especially if you're still trying to make sense of ChatGPT. SImply put, the technology behind “AI agents” is software designed to actually operate your computer instead of simply chatting with you. That’s what makes this fundamentally different from tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google Gemini. Unlike traditional chatbots, AI agents like Claude Cowork or ChatGPT Agent can open apps, click buttons, browse websites, fill out forms, compare information across tabs, move files, draft emails and
