Ep 781: OpenAI’s Codex For Beginners Pt 2: Advanced Agentic Strategies broken down for Newbies

Every wish on your AI wish list? 🧞‍♂️It's already here in OpenAI's Codex. While the masses are months behind just now discovering Claude Cowork, there's a new wave taking over in Codex. Bad part? It has the word 'code' in the name, so most people assume they're not technical enough. Good news? If you can use ChatGPT, you can use Codex. (It's pretty much the same thing.) We already broke down the Codex basics in Part 1 of our AI at Work on Wednesday series, so we're doubling down on the Codex classroom in part 2. We'll tackle Skills, Plugins, Computer Use, Remote Control and more. But the big takeaway? Codex can probably already do most of the work you do in front of a computer. We'll show you how. OpenAI’s Codex For Beginners Pt 2: Advanced Agentic Strategies broken down for Newbies -- An Everyday AI Chat wit Jordan WilsonNewsletter: Sign up for our free daily newsletterMore on this Episode: Episode PageToday's Episode on LinkedIn: Thoughts on this?
