My bio was not even up to date wow!
I've been juggling between many things the past couple of months, this is really an amazing position where I'm able to work on basically everything!

Hello here, I'll try to be more consistent here! I've been quite busy at my new job and didn't find time to properly balance my social media!

Lately I've been helping the great ChatGPT iOS team with the new Codex remote integration! And we recently shipped it right into the ChatGPT iOS app.

If you have any issues, ping me here!

What's the point anymore? Codex literally reviewed 500+ open issues, grouped them, and sorted them for me in less than 3 minutes. Everything became easy. It's just a matter of will, drive, and ideas.

The only bottleneck is me having to manage all that

Adjusted my setup a bit today

I also make it really easy to just compact chained tool calls, and I'll add an option to make it even closer to the Codex app, meaning auto-compacted tool calls.

But one of the best "UX" thing is capturing the latest reasoning title as the "thinking" indicator.
The Codex CLI did that, so I copied it.

There is a debate right now between what I do in Codex Monitor and what the Codex app does. I think it's better to show almost every agent trace with a clear view of what is happening. It allows a careful user to see what's really happening and steer.

And it also has all the features you expect from this kind of new, agentic-driven environment. A sidebar with the git diff changes, a terminal, a way to quickly add and sort workspaces, easy access to all Codex /commands, plan and code mode, etc... And multiple run commands!

About worktree: the Codex app has a very cool feature. Once you have changes on a worktree, you can sync the change to your local repo, it'll create a branch for you and keep it in sync between your worktree and repo.

This is amazing and makes Worktree much better to work with!

Another feature they have is automation! You can create an agent cron job that runs on a specific day at a specific time. In my case, I have a daily review of my open PR and issues, but what you can do is pretty limitless!

Another awesome feature is that you can easily start new agents locally, in a worktree, or as a cloud agent. To me, that's a super powerful feature! Your worktree and cloud agents are combined in the sidebar. And you can easily apply cloud/worktree changes on your local repo.
