OpenAI launches new Codex tools for white-collar work

Together with the plug-ins, OpenAI introduced a new Sites feature, which allows Codex to output its work product as a hosted interactive website, instead of just a local file. As part of that system, OpenAI is partnering with Wix, Base44, Replit, Lovable, Figma, and Emergent — although the company plans to develop a larger partner ecosystem to support the service.

A new Annotations feature will also allow users to designate a specific part of a document or file within Codex, allowing for more specific commands and context operations.

The new enterprise features come just three weeks after OpenAI launched a new joint venture for enterprise clients, dubbed the OpenAI Deployment Company. The venture includes more than $4 billion in funding from global investment firms, with the aim of integrating OpenAI tools more deeply into businesses around the world.

“AI is becoming capable of doing increasingly meaningful work inside organizations,” OpenAI Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser said in a statement at launch. “The challenge now is helping companies integrate these systems into the infrastructure and workflows that power their businesses.”
