OpenAI’s updated Codex app for Mac introduces a native computer-use feature that interacts with multiple Mac apps in the background via advanced accessibility APIs, enabling precise control without bringing them to the foreground. This technology, evolved from the acquired Sky app, allows Codex to automate complex tasks more efficiently and accurately than other models by reading app interface hierarchies rather than relying on screen recording or AppleScript, marking a significant advancement in AI-driven Mac automation.
