@robpruzan love it

[leo @leoshimo]

thrilled about this feature!

even more thrilled about what principled, bottom-up engineering strategy enables!

[Bitrig @BitrigApp]

Bitrig can now build App Shortcuts and App Intents.

Make your app’s most important actions and content available in Shortcuts, Siri, and Spotlight.

@SIGKITTEN Excited for what you can do with the CarPlay entitlement

[leo @leoshimo]

@SIGKITTEN Codex on NeXT workstation wen?

[Ari Weinstein @AriX]

Wow - with Shortcuts Playground, Codex can build Apple shortcuts for you automatically. @viticci cooked here.

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

the model alone is no longer the product

[Ari Weinstein @AriX]

Another one: today we released Remote Computer Use in Codex!

This means you can use all the apps on your Mac from Codex Mobile, even when your computer is at home and locked.

It's kinda magic.

Great thread for Appshot (FKA Skyshot) Lore

[Cameron Burgess @supercgeek]

🧵i'm so hyped we're launching Appshots (fka Skyshots) in Codex today (https://t.co/8B2hBknBxr)! the story for this starts in 2024 so i thought it would be fun to run it back!

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

Codex anywhere and everywhere, all the time.

Now your Mac doesn’t have to be unlocked for Codex to use your computer.

From your phone, Codex can securely use apps on your Mac, even when the screen is off and locked.

the new appshots feature in codex is way more useful than i expected, this is great

it captures a screenshot + the window context, including text, urls, file paths, and even text scrolled offscreen (the offscreen part is so nice)

my one important finding: if you have 2 codex windows open, it pastes into the one you interacted with last

also the cmd+cmd interaction is absurdly smooth, i'm already addicted to it

fantastic job @arix and everyone who worked on this @malonehedges, vasili, @supercgeek, @philzet, @iamkim, @conradev, @mousseau, @suedadam, @leoshimo

this kind of ux inspires me

[leo @leoshimo]

Appshot to…
- create calendar events…
- summarize slack threads…
- search your apps for relevant context to handle what’s onscreen…

[leo @leoshimo]

Appshots are a delightful way to handoff what you’re seeing to Codex

It’s hard to go back to pasting links / screenshots once you have it!

[Ari Weinstein @AriX]

Today we’re releasing Appshots in Codex.

I love this feature! It makes it so easy to integrate Codex into everything I do on my Mac.

Advice API - inspired by emacs `defadvice`!

Thoughtful set of primitives + concepts that work together.

Introducing Zenbu.js - The framework for hackable software

I wanted the ability to edit the software I use with my coding agents, from there Zenbu.js was born

Zenbu.js allows you to build desktop apps that can be modified by users after installation. This is made possible by:
- shipping the app's raw source code to the user
- a built in plugin system for your apps

@chadptg @nicdunz @thsottiaux This should be fixed now :)

[leo @leoshimo]

@Daeshawn This should be fixed now :)

@embirico queue by default, cmd+enter for steer

[leo @leoshimo]

@SIGKITTEN yes - with model accessible tools I hope

This talk by @andy_matuschak is the clearest articulation I’ve seen of where I believe personal computing should go.

The hard part isn’t generating more apps. It’s defining the "physics of a medium" where new behaviors can compose and compound.

I believe that’s the path to personal dynamic media, and the thread running through my personal runtime experiments like vrs and eden.

Must watch. I’ll be coming back to this one often:

Live-scriptable environments, like Emacs, are SO BACK in the LLM era.

I’m excited for software with handles everywhere: things you can inspect, script, and reshape live.

No sealed apps. No AI sidebars. Just hackable software. Great for humans, even better for models.

I didn't use my terminal *once* today.

Just my browser, slack, and Codex app.

[leo @leoshimo]

I’ve lived in Emacs for years, but this trend is hard to ignore: Codex is starting to feel like a new digital home.

New era.
