Stop using Claude. Start using Codex?

If you want more workflows and tactics to build a business with AI, check out this free workshop: https://www.ideabrowser.com/workshop I sit down with Riley Brown to get a hands-on tour of OpenAI's Codex, which he argues is the most powerful single interface for using AI agents today. Riley walks me through how Codex unifies vibe coding, knowledge work, browser use, computer use, and automations into one app, all running on GPT 5.5. I come in as a complete Codex skeptic who has spent most of my time in Claude Code, and Riley shows me skills, plugins, projects, Remotion, Chronicle, and the in-app browser to make his case. By the end, the question becomes whether the era of separate tools for documents, decks, code, and research is collapsing into a single super app. 00:00 – Intro 03:23 – What is Codex 06:46 – Why a GUI beats the terminal for most users 10:13 – Codex: the all in one platform 12:48 – Atlas browser inside Codex 14:21 – Remotion explained and motion graphics workflows 19:28 – Computer use and Chronicle 22:26 – Plugins, skills, MCPs, and integrations 31:57 – Evals, examples, and good outpu 38:43 – Hard questions: who Codex is built for 40:44 – Browser use plays itself in chess 43:20 – Running Claude Code inside Codex 45:58 – GPT 5.5 cost and effort settings 48:50 – GPT Images 2.0 54:09 – Why most people feel overwhelmed by AI tools 57:09 – Three projects to start with on day one and Closing thoughts Key Points * Codex is positioned as a super app where coding, documents, decks, research, and automations live in one interface, with GPT 5.5 as the underlying model. * The trend across Codex, Cursor, and the Claude Code desktop app is the same GUI pattern: chats on the left, agent in the middle, output on the right. * Plugins offer official integrations like Slack, Notion, Sheets, Remotion, and Canva, while skills are user-created instructions stored as a…
