Top 50 ai tools in 2026 part 2 OpenAI Codex App and how it works

Top 50 ai tools in 2026 Part 2 

As you know that we are famous for the latest technology tools and  artificial intelligence in 2026. Today we will discuss the latest and most famous artificial intelligence tool OpenAI  has currently launced  the Codex Desktop Applicaiton for Mac. This app got  a record downloads and it is downloaded by 200,000  peoples at the first day of launching ,which itself is a huge number and big achievement in the world of Artificial intelligence. 

It is design to help the developer, team builder, manage the software, creating agent which are works for automation, and also automate the software using AI agent. OpenAI launched OpenAI Codex app  for Mac OS, which acts as central command centre for artificial intelligence  agents.

1 What is OpenAI Codex (Standalone App)?

OpenAI Codex is a standalone app which allows developer to interact with so many agents and allow the to work parallel. It works automatically in the backgrounds and when the task get complete it just perform action on the given command and order.

Give a prompt to Codex

 It make the all the user in order and smooth the workflow. It is the source from design to development of the software.

2 Use Cases 

It can help us in the following advance tasks completion, and work in parallel So many agents combine to do work in parallel, which is more fast and efficient.

Codex works in parallel 

1 Write The Code:

It is used to write the code for the developer and software engineers or any other user.

You are suppose to think and write down your thought to the Codex and it will make the same app as you want, you can build, iterate, and make a professional app for your client. It start from the code to the development

2 Understand unfamiliar codebases: 

Codex can assist you in understanding the code complexity or legacy code. It provides the solution for understanding the code and give you easy solution to grasp the code.

3 Review code

It identify the errors, bugs and and unhandled edge cases AND then fixed these errors efficiently.

4 Debug and fix problems:

If any error found with the help of ai agent it immediately fixed that error and make  the suitable solution to solve that error.

5 Automate development tasks:

Codex can run repetitive workflows such as refactoring, testing, migrations, and setup tasks so you can focus on higher-level engineering work.

Adding tasks in the Codex 

3 Key Features

Following are the some key feature of Codex App

1. It is a command centre for ai Agents
2. It work so smoothly and avoid conflicts 
3. It Schedule and automate the work process 
4. By using Codex you can integrate so many tools like IDE extension( Visual Studio), CLI 
5. It works in a very secure environment without harming your privacy or damage your workflow

4 How to use The Codex

Let take an Example if we want to build a game of snake how it will works.

You will clearly understand how does it works 

Lets start

First we have to give a prompt you can see clearly in the image below

Write the prompt to do something

If you want to copy the prompt here it is "Create a dashboard for my git comits and git activities.

Visualize trends and code reviews from the last 14 days.

It will process the pompt and give you the code now if you want to change the prompt or you have a design in figma you can tell him to take image from figma  and upload there and after that it will do that like that the same thing that you want this to do

You can change the prompt 

It will take a design which you build on Figma, it works on your commond and it integrate so many application in one place so they can work in collabortion.

Now let see how so many tools and apps can works together to make any task in effective manner

Tools that can be integrated with Codex 

You can see so many tools are combined and work together. It includes Notion, Figma, Image Gen, Playwright etc 

Now if we want to visualize and find out how much work has been done yet. We can understand it by understanding the chart and visuals 

Visualize the date by using Codex 

It shows the work done yet according to the prompt.

Review the work now in this step it review the code, find errors and fixed those errors immediately 

Review the work by using Codex 

You can automate the same task as much as you want like if i want to create the same task again i can fixed the days and it will again create the same task for me. 

Repeat the same task 

Now it will create automatically on your date set, and shows what you want to make.

Perform tasks automatically 

Now lets understand some questions and their answers

5 Frequently Asked Questions

6 Conclusion

OpenAI Codex app  is a next level coding app which can make the workload of 5 to 10 peoples. If you are a developer and you want to create an App software or website and much more you can use it for professional use. It is an advanced artificial intelligence  tool which can change the flow of the work and integrate a lot of components and work together, It decrease the workload and increase efficiency, it decrease the development time.
