OpenAI workshop covers Codex cloud handoff, voice mode and dots
Original title: AI Engineer Code Summit: OpenAI on New Ways of Working With Codex
Engineers said Codex Cloud version 2, voice control and personal dots still feel awkward for many developers.
At the AI Engineer Code Summit, OpenAI developer-experience engineers Dominik Kundel and Charlie Guo walked through recent Codex changes. They described Codex Cloud version 2, announced after DevDay in late September, as isolated environments tied to GitHub repositories, with local-to-cloud handoff still being improved. Voice was shown as dictation and as a control plane, while dots were described as a safety net, a Slack delegation sink and a persistent assistant.
