What is codex?
Codex CLI is a lightweight coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer within the terminal. It provides AI-powered assistance for development tasks, helping programmers write, debug, and understand code more efficiently. The tool connects to your ChatGPT account or OpenAI API to deliver intelligent coding suggestions and explanations.
Developers and programmers who work primarily in terminal environments and want AI coding assistance integrated directly into their command-line workflow. It's particularly useful for those with ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise plans.
Codex CLI offers the convenience of local execution without constant internet connectivity, reducing latency and maintaining privacy. Unlike web-based alternatives, it integrates directly into terminal workflows, minimizing context switching and providing immediate assistance where developers already work.
