sick! developing, using & testing ios app directly in codex...

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

More of the iOS app loop, now inside Codex.

The Build iOS Apps plugin lets Codex view and test your iOS app in the in-app browser, open SwiftUI previews, and hot reload edits without leaving Codex.

31 day codex streak.. i still think im soft on the tokens though 😅

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

i've been waiting for someone to create this to follow for updates.. created a twitter list of these + a few more codex ppl for easy access

who else should be on this list?

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

@jxnlco @katedeyneka @romainhuet lol i think i will need to create a custom feed just for codex updates & best practices

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

lol @cursor_ai UI looks very similar to Codex. who copied who?

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

using ImageGen with Codex makes it so easy to build + market software/apps.

can code + generate 30+ image assets/icons in one session

then with some a few MCPs can start generating video ads + don't need to pay for overpriced middlemen like Higgsfield

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

@kobyjconrad maybe restart the app after you enable full access? codex is usually great at just figuring things out and getting job done

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

@OpenAIDevs so many new features! hard to keep up but loving it!

used meta-ad-library-analyzer skill. you will need a google gemini api key since this is properly analyzing the videos and their api is the only one that does it properly.

feedback welcome!

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

here is a skill that takes any company's meta ads library, analyze all of the videos properly for ad angles

+ writes a deep report on it so you can start to emulate these ad angles via kling/seedance, etc.

...growth hacking with codex is sick!

gh link to skill in comments

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

@Budgetdog_ @AlphaSchoolATX yeah we don't live close to any of their schools

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

lol UGC creators are so screwed...

you can literally ask gemini to analyze a video & create a similar hook for ads/organic.

[Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK]

Introducing Gemini Omni 🔮........ Omni is our new model that can create anything from any input — starting with video (think Nano Banana but for video). Available in the Gemini App, Flow, and YouTube, with API support coming soon!

@mikefutia UGC

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

last week I tracked everything I did in 15 minute increments..

...biggest surprise is that i spent 7.5 hours on Youtube

current chrome extensions suck so I one shotted one called Feed Destroyer that is always on & gives good reminders.

it's never been easier to lock in..

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

the days of spending hours of a video llm prompt are over... you can replicate most videos & ad hooks by:

1. give codex access to @fal ai mcp
2. have it create create specific skills for seedance/kling prompts
3. run in a loop, check results & improve prompt until it's perfect

bonus: use gemini api in a skill to understand videos

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

Xcode Build mcp by @sentry is the best recent mobile dev tool i found. Codex just runs the simulator itself and reviews mobile UI, takes screenshots fixes the issues.

great tip @raroque !

[Chris Raroque @raroque]

I haven't opened Xcode in WEEKS 👀

ive made a ton of changes to my coding workflow and added a few things that help me move 5x faster

made a little video going over everything

and ill cover why i still use both claude code AND cursor 😮‍💨

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

yeah with codex i can do everything in one ui. before i would need to use different apps, chat gpt for images, claude for scripting, kling/seedance for video llms.

still itterating on the quality.

apps like higgsfield and arcards technically support this but they have a huge markup because of all the ads/influencers they buy on x

[Andriy Kulak @emergingbits]

@jessepollak There is no skill that will find a cool hook for you or slice up content in a compelling way. Easiest editing software is CapCut.
