## About Codex

Codex is OpenAI's cloud-based AI coding agent, available inside ChatGPT. Assign tasks in plain English — fix a bug, add a feature, refactor a module — and Codex reads your codebase, writes the code, runs tests, and submits a pull request. Each task runs in its own sandboxed cloud environment with your full repository loaded.

Run multiple tasks in parallel and review the results when ready. Built on the codex-1 model, optimized for software engineering with strong instruction following and iterative test-fix loops.

Pricing model: Freemium

## FAQs

Common questions about Codex

Is Codex free?

Codex is available to ChatGPT Pro, Team, and Enterprise users. It's included in those plans at no extra cost.

How is Codex different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT helps you write code in chat. Codex is an autonomous agent that operates on your actual codebase — reading files, writing code, running tests, and creating pull requests.

What languages does Codex support?

Codex works with any programming language in your repository — it reads and writes code based on context, not a fixed language list.
