Codex for every role, tool, and workflow

TL;DR

OpenAI introduced six role‑specific plugins for Codex, a preview of shareable Sites, and annotation‑based refinement, aiming to make Codex useful for non‑developer knowledge work.

Role‑specific plugins

Six new role‑specific plugins bundle apps, skills, and workflows for data analytics, creative production, sales, product design, public equity investing, and investment banking. Together they include 62 popular apps and 110 skills. The data analytics plugin helps analysts explore product and business data, explain metric changes, and create reports and dashboards using tools like Snowflake, Databricks Genie, Hex, and Tableau. The creative production plugin helps marketing teams turn briefs into assets using Figma, Canva, Shutterstock, Picsart, and Fal. The sales plugin helps teams find high‑priority accounts, prepare for meetings, complete follow‑ups, update records, build close plans, and review at‑risk deals using Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Outreach, Clay, Rox, and Actively. The product design plugin supports turning early ideas into prototypes, auditing user flows, prototyping from a live URL, and making static screenshots interactive, with work that can be carried forward in Figma and Canva. The public equity investing plugin helps investors review earnings, compare companies, track signals, and assess investment theses using information from Moody’s, Daloopa, Datasite, FactSet, LSEG, S&P, PitchBook, and Hebbia. The investment banking plugin helps bankers prepare pitch materials, analyze comparable companies and transactions, and turn diligence into recommendations using trusted data. Plugins work out of the box and can be adapted or customized; more role‑specific plugins are planned for Corporate Finance, Private Equity Investing, Marketing Strategy, Strategy Consulting, and Legal, with an open ecosystem for partners to create and deploy their own plugins.

Sites

Starting in preview for business and enterprise customers, Codex can now create and share interactive, hosted websites and apps called Sites. Sites turn ideas, analysis, and plans into dashboards, planners, review workspaces, project boards, galleries, and lightweight tools that can be shared with anyone in a workspace via URL. Teams can use Sites for upcoming customer reviews, scenario planning from financial models, or living hubs for launch materials, and keep them up to date as details change. Early partners include Vercel, Wix, Base44, Replit, Lovable, Figma, Webflow, and Emergent as OpenAI builds toward a sites partner ecosystem.

Refine your work with annotations

Developers already use annotations in Codex to refine code, Markdown files, and websites. This capability now extends to documents, spreadsheets, and slides created with Codex. Users can point to the exact part they want to refine—such as a navigation bar in a Site, a claim in an investment thesis, or a chart on a slide—and tell Codex what needs to change. Codex focuses the update on the selected portion, allowing refinement without starting over or reworking already‑liked parts. Annotations make Codex more useful after the first draft when judgment, feedback, and iteration are needed.

Availability and getting started

Role‑specific plugins are rolling out in Codex in supported regions and can be installed from the Codex plugin directory; Codex helps with setup and customization. For Business and Enterprise workspaces, admins can control underlying app permissions in workspace settings. Sites are rolling out in preview for Business and Enterprise teams through the Codex app, with enterprise admins able to enable Sites in admin settings. More than 5 million people now use Codex every week; non‑developers—including analysts, marketers, operators, designers, researchers, investors, and bankers—make up about 20% of overall Codex users and are growing more than 3x as fast as developers.
