Software Engineering Will Never Be The Same—Open AI's Codex SWE Agent Changed It Forever
Here's What We Know About OpenAI's Software Engineering AI Agent

Good morning,
Some big news for business owners and software devs:
What if you could ask ChatGPT to answer programming questions in plain English, write, review, and run code for you…
Help you build apps…
Automate tasks…
And solve real-world software problems?
Meet OpenAI’s Codex Software Engineering Agent
Imagine having an AI agent who can answer your coding questions, write and run code, and even help you manage software projects—all inside ChatGPT.
That’s what the new Codex Software Engineering Agent (SWE Agent) is built to do in ChatGPT.
Whether you’re a developer who wants to speed up your workflow, or a business owner who needs software built or fixed without hiring a full-time engineer…
Codex SWE Agent can help you out.
OpenAI’s Codex Agent vs. Claude, Gemini, And ChatGPT 4o
So, what makes Codex SWE Agent different from regular ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini?
While regular AI chatbots are great for answering questions, writing emails, or brainstorming ideas, Codex SWE Agent is built specifically for software engineering.
OpenAI’s Codex Agent doesn’t just talk about code.
It can actually write, test, and manage code projects for you
With Codex, you get:
A real coding assistant: It can run code, manipulate files, and interact with your computer’s terminal.
Deeper integration: Codex can connect with your development tools and work directly with your codebase, making it much more than just a chatbot.
Smarter automation: It can handle multi-step tasks and help manage whole projects, not just answer one question at a time.
Regular AI chatbots are helpful, but Codex SWE Agent is like having a junior developer on your team that can work fast 24/7.
OpenAI’s Codex Agent Is FREE
Codex SWE Agent API is open-source and free to use. Anyone can download it and start using it right away, with no waitlist or paywall.
You can run it locally on your own computer, which means your code stays private and secure.
The Catch: If you want to use it inside ChatGPT, you will need to avail ChatGPT Plus or Pro for now. But it will likely become available to free users within a few months.
Talk soon,
Brian
