  • Site tools, and what to build this weekend

    Register WebMCP tools in your page's JavaScript — a doc editor might expose 'find this section' or 'post a comment' — and ChatGPT or Codex discover and run them on the same live, signed-in page while you watch. It makes your app agent-operable without shipping a separate API. GPT-5.6 Sol or Terra only; Luna has it off.

  • Codex breaks out of Chrome

    The ChatGPT browser extension now drives Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi as well as Chrome, with tab mentions and full browser control across all five (Opera skips side chat). Your browser automation no longer has to live in Chrome.

  • Cloud sign-in that won't touch your logins

    On eligible plans you can sign into a supported site through the cloud browser on web, iOS, and Android, kept isolated from your local session — so an agent run doesn't ride on your day-to-day cookies. Not in Enterprise or Edu yet.

  • codex mcp-server is deprecated

    If you wired Codex into an MCP client: as of Aug 24 the `codex mcp-server` command is deprecated — migrate to the Codex app server. CLI 0.149.1 shipped alongside with minor fixes.
