1. OpenAI brings Codex plugin to Anthropic’s Claude Code for code review, task delegation
A ChatGPT account, including a free tier, or an OpenAI API key is required to access Codex from Claude Code.
The plugin can run multiple tasks simultaneously in the background.
It routes through the local Codex CLI and app server, using the same auth, config, and MCP setup.
“We’ve seen Claude Code users bring in Codex for code review and use GPT-5.4 for more complex tasks,” OpenAI Dev. Experience Head said.
Stop swapping between tools. 150,000+ Microsoft customers use Slack to connect every tool and automate workflows.
Watch the demo to see integrations with Office and SharePoint, AI-powered automation, and no-code search.
Benefit from an open ecosystem with 2,600+ apps that puts AI at the center of collaboration.
