Summary

OpenAI just released Codeex mobile integration with ChatGPT, letting you control your entire computer remotely from iPhone. This is positioned as "the biggest update to ChatGPT maybe ever"—enabling voice-driven agent automation, document generation, and web research directly from your phone through a synchronized desktop app.

Key Takeaways

  1. Codeex mobile requires three setup steps: update Codeex desktop to latest version, update ChatGPT iOS app, restart Codeex, then connect via same Wi-Fi network for instant chat sync.
  2. Use voice mode on mobile to fire off complex agent tasks like web research and document compilation. Simply press the voice button and describe your task naturally—no typing required.
  3. Plugins work on mobile (Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Browser, Chrome) via '@' symbol, but skills don't show up—though you can invoke them through natural language since the app controls the full desktop Codeex with all skill access.
  4. Enable 'Full Access' permissions instead of default auto-accept mode to let agents fully control your computer without requiring manual approval for each action, dramatically speeding up automation workflows.
  5. Reorganize your sidebar by pressing three dots and selecting 'Chats First' if using Codeex for non-coding tasks—projects are best for coding work, but chat-first layout is better for general automation.
