OpenAI brings Codex to the ChatGPT mobile app
On Thursday, OpenAI announced the integration of Codex into the ChatGPT mobile app for iOS and Android, as reported by The New Stack. Previously, Codex was only available via the web interface. The update allows users to generate, edit, and debug code within the ChatGPT app using natural language prompts. This feature is available to all ChatGPT users, including free tier, though usage limits may apply. The move aims to make coding assistance more accessible, particularly for developers working on mobile devices. No pricing changes were announced; existing subscription plans (ChatGPT Plus at $20/month) remain unchanged. The integration leverages the same underlying model as the web version, ensuring consistency in code generation quality. This update is part of OpenAI's broader strategy to embed AI tools into everyday workflows, potentially reducing context switching for developers who rely on mobile devices for quick coding tasks.
Developers can now generate code on mobile without switching to a desktop IDE.
