Codex for every role, tool, and workflow

More than 5 million people now use Codex every week. Codex started as a tool for software development, but it's increasingly useful for more kinds of work. Non-developers—including analysts, marketers, operators, designers, researchers, investors, and bankers—make up about 20% of overall Codex users⁠ and are growing more than 3x as fast as developers.

Today, we’re introducing new ways to do more of your work with Codex: plugins that adapt Codex to your role and tools, annotations that help you refine the result in place, and a preview of the ability to create interactive websites and apps you can share with your workspace using a URL.

Inside OpenAI, non-technical teams use Codex to build internal apps, prepare executive materials, create dashboards, and turn creative briefs into work that reflects brand and design constraints. At Zapier, teams use Codex to pull knowledge from tools like Slack, Google Docs, and Coda, then turn that context into postmortems, incident response plans, and feature tickets. At NVIDIA, researchers are using Codex to speed up experiment workflows, from finding research ideas to writing scripts for machine learning infrastructure.

Codex is most useful when it works the way your team does: connected to the tools you use and ready to create the materials you need.

Plugins help Codex work with the tools, context, and workflows your team already uses. Today, we’re launching six new role-specific plugins that make Codex useful for more kinds of knowledge work, no coding required:

• Each role-specific plugin⁠(opens in a new window) bundles the relevant apps, skills, instructions, and workflows. Together, they include 62 popular apps and 110 skills.
• The data analytics plugin⁠(opens in a new window) helps analysts and business teams answer questions with data. They can explore product and business data, explain why key metrics changed, and create reports and dashboards using tools like Snowflake, Databricks Genie, Hex, and Tableau, with more coming soon.
• The creative production plugin⁠(opens in a new window) helps marketing and creative teams turn a brief into assets they can review. Teams can create campaign boards, make and refine display ad variations, and produce product lifestyle shots or ecommerce-ready image sets with tools like Figma, Canva, Shutterstock, Picsart, and Fal.
• The sales plugin⁠(opens in a new window) helps sales teams bring customer context into the work that moves deals forward. Sales teams can find high-priority accounts and signals, prepare for customer meetings, complete follow-ups, update customer records, build close plans, and review deals at risk using tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Outreach, Clay, Rox, and Actively.
• The product design plugin⁠(opens in a new window) is built for turning early ideas into prototypes teams can review. Teams can explore product directions, audit user flows, prototype from a live URL, and make static screenshots interactive, with work that can be carried forward in tools like Figma and Canva.
• The public equity investing plugin⁠(opens in a new window) helps investors make sense of market and company information. They can review earnings, compare companies, track signals, and assess whether an investment thesis is strengthening or weakening using information from Moody’s, Daloopa, Datasite, FactSet, LSEG, S&P, PitchBook, and Hebbia.
• The investment banking plugin⁠(opens in a new window) helps bankers turn research and diligence into client-ready materials. They can prepare pitch materials, analyze comparable companies and transactions, and turn diligence into recommendations using trusted data.

Plugins work out of the box. Teams can also adapt them to their workflows or build and share custom plugins for their own systems and processes.

More role-specific plugins are coming soon, including Corporate Finance, Private Equity Investing, Marketing Strategy, Strategy Consulting, and Legal. And this is just the start: we’re building toward an open ecosystem where partners can create and deploy their own plugins directly in Codex and ChatGPT.
