Product Releases

New role-specific plugins, Sites, and annotations help teams do more with Codex.

More than 5 million people now use Codex every week. Codex started as a tool for software development, but it's increasingly useful for more kinds of work. 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.

Today, we're introducing new ways to do more of your work with Codex: plugins that adapt Codex to your role and tools, annotations that help you refine the result in place, and a preview of the ability to create interactive websites and apps you can share with your workspace using a URL.

Inside OpenAI, non-technical teams use Codex to build internal apps, prepare executive materials, create dashboards, and turn creative briefs into work that reflects brand and design constraints. At Zapier, teams use Codex to pull knowledge from tools like Slack, Google Docs, and Coda, then turn that context into postmortems, incident response plans, and feature tickets. At NVIDIA, researchers are using Codex to speed up experiment workflows, from finding research ideas to writing scripts for machine learning infrastructure.

Make Codex work the way your team does

Codex is most useful when it works the way your team does: connected to the tools you use and ready to create the materials you need.

Plugins help Codex work with the tools, context, and workflows your team already uses. Today, we're launching six new role-specific plugins that make Codex useful for more kinds of knowledge work, no coding required:

• Each plugin bundles the relevant apps, skills, instructions, and workflows. Together, they include 62 popular apps and 110 skills.
• The data analytics plugin helps analysts and business teams answer questions with data. They can explore product and business data, explain why key metrics changed, and create reports and dashboards using tools like Snowflake, Databricks Genie, Hex, and Tableau, with more coming soon.
• The creative production plugin helps marketing and creative teams turn a brief into assets they can review. Teams can create campaign boards, make and refine display ad variations, and produce product lifestyle shots or ecommerce-ready image sets with tools like Figma, Canva, Shutterstock, Picsart, and Fal.
• The sales plugin helps sales teams bring customer context into the work that moves deals forward. Sales teams can find high-priority accounts and signals, prepare for customer meetings, complete follow-ups, update customer records, build close plans, and review deals at risk using tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Outreach, Clay, Rox, and Actively.
• The product design plugin is built for turning early ideas into prototypes teams can review. Teams can explore product directions, audit user flows, prototype from a live URL, and make static screenshots interactive, with work that can be carried forward in tools like Figma and Canva.
• The public equity investing plugin helps investors make sense of market and company information. They can review earnings, compare companies, track signals, and assess whether an investment thesis is strengthening or weakening using information from Moody's, Daloopa, Datasite, FactSet, LSEG, S&P, PitchBook, and Hebbia.
• The investment banking plugin helps bankers turn research and diligence into client-ready materials. They can prepare pitch materials, analyze comparable companies and transactions, and turn diligence into recommendations using trusted data.

Plugins work out of the box. Teams can also adapt them to their workflows or build and share custom plugins for their own systems and processes.

More role-specific plugins are coming soon, including Corporate Finance, Private Equity Investing, Marketing Strategy, Strategy Consulting, and Legal. And this is just the start: we're building toward an open ecosystem where partners can create and deploy their own plugins directly in Codex and ChatGPT.

Share your work with sites

Starting in preview for business and enterprise customers, Codex can now create and share interactive, hosted websites and apps.

Sites are a new kind of canvas for your ideas. Codex can take your ideas, analysis, and plans and turn them into dashboards, planners, review workspaces, project boards, galleries, and lightweight tools. Today, sites can be shared with anyone in your workspace via URL, giving teams a shared place to explore work, contribute input, track progress, and make decisions together.

Ask Codex to create a site for an upcoming customer review, and it'll generate an interactive webpage with the relevant product updates, open questions, usage trends, and next steps for that account. Ask it to build a scenario planner from a financial model, so leaders can compare assumptions instead of reading through tabs in a doc. Ask it to turn launch materials into a living hub where teams can find the latest messaging, milestones, owners, and decisions. Then ask Codex to keep the site up to date as details change.

Instead of adapting work to the limits of a single tool or file, teams can create sites that fit the work. And sites aren't static. They can also help track progress for a major project, help guide customer service reps, or act as a repository for your team's creative briefs.

We're also working with early partners including Wix, Base44, Replit, Lovable, Figma, Webflow, and Emergent as we build towards a sites partner ecosystem.

Refine your work with annotations

Developers already use annotations in Codex to refine code, Markdown files, and websites Codex creates. With annotations, you point to the exact part you want to refine and tell Codex what needs to change. That way of working now extends to content you create, like documents, spreadsheets, and slides.

Select the navigation bar in a site and ask Codex to update the font. Highlight a claim in an investment thesis and ask Codex where it came from. Mark a chart on a slide and ask for a clearer label. Codex focuses the update on the part you selected, so you can refine your work without starting over or reworking the parts you already like. Annotations make Codex more useful after the first draft, when the work needs judgment, feedback, and iteration.

Availability and getting started

Role-specific plugins are rolling out in Codex in supported regions. You can install them from the Codex plugin directory and Codex will help get you set up. Codex can also help you customize a plugin. 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. Enterprise admins can enable sites in admin settings.

Helping enterprises bring AI into production through their existing security, governance, and deployment workflows.

Get started with OpenAI on AWS

Today, OpenAI frontier models and Codex are generally available on AWS, opening a new path for millions of AWS customers to build with OpenAI through the platform they already use to run their business.

For enterprises, this removes one of the biggest barriers to AI adoption: getting frontier AI into production through existing security, compliance, procurement, billing, and governance workflows. Customers can now bring OpenAI capabilities into AWS environments with the controls their teams already trust, helping them move faster from evaluation to real deployment.

Bringing OpenAI capabilities into AWS environments

OpenAI on AWS gives enterprises access to OpenAI frontier capabilities, a familiar AWS operating model, and a faster path to production. They are available in two ways:

OpenAI models on Amazon Bedrock⁠(opens in a new window) allows teams to build AI applications using AWS-native security and governance controls.

Codex on Amazon Bedrock⁠(opens in a new window) brings OpenAI's leading software engineering agent - used by more than 5 million people every week - into AWS, helping teams write, review, debug, and modernize code in the environments where they already build and ship.

Together, these offerings help customers adopt OpenAI with less friction and ship with the best models available right in AWS, in both Commercial and GovCloud regions.

Helping customers move from interest to implementation

As customers begin using these capabilities, the AWS path helps reduce friction around procurement, security review, and production readiness. By making OpenAI capabilities available within familiar AWS environments, organizations can spend less time navigating operational barriers and more time building.

"At Amgen, we're focused on applying advanced AI in ways that may help accelerate the delivery of potential new therapies while equipping our teams with advanced tools. OpenAI's GPT‑5.5 and frontier models offer compelling advances in capability, quality, and consistency that matter in a field where the questions are complex and the standards for scientific accuracy and decision quality are exceptionally high. Making these models available on AWS gives us an important new path to explore and scale those capabilities within the responsible AI framework, including security, governance, and operational frameworks across the enterprise."

— Sean Bruich, Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer at Amgen

"Autodesk is the technology platform for the people who design and make the world around us. Workflows like building design are highly iterative, requiring precision, coordination, and continuous refinement across teams. With OpenAI models and Codex now generally available on Amazon Bedrock, our teams are evaluating how frontier AI capabilities and AI-powered development tools on scalable, secure AWS infrastructure can help accelerate development workflows and support more informed decision-making for our customers."

— Ritesh Bansal, VP of Analytics Data, Agentic AI and AI/ML Platform at Autodesk

What's next, including cyber availability

OpenAI on AWS is the start of a broader path for customers to bring frontier AI into the environments where they already build, govern, and ship. We'll continue expanding the OpenAI capabilities available through AWS so teams can move from evaluation to production with less friction and more confidence.

That includes future availability for Daybreak, OpenAI's vision for changing how software is built and defended. Daybreak, which includes cyber models and Codex Security, is designed to help cyber defenders see risk earlier, act sooner, and make software more resilient by design by bringing secure code review, threat modeling, patch validation, dependency risk analysis, detection, and remediation guidance into the everyday development loop.

As specialized capabilities like Daybreak become available to customers, AWS can provide an important path for security teams to adopt them using the security, governance, procurement, and operational frameworks they already use.

Together, OpenAI and AWS can help more organizations put advanced AI to work in production.

An advanced set of protections against unauthorized access to ChatGPT accounts, Codex, and the sensitive information they can contain.

Today, we're introducing Advanced Account Security, a new opt-in setting for ChatGPT accounts, designed for people at increased risk of digital attacks, as well as for those who want the strongest account protections available. It brings together a set of heightened security measures that help safeguard against account takeover while making those protections easier to activate in one place. Once enrolled, Advanced Account Security protects users in Codex as well.

People are turning to AI for deeply personal questions and increasingly high-stakes work. Over time, a ChatGPT account can hold sensitive personal and professional context, and sit at the center of connected tools and workflows. For some people, like journalists, elected officials, political dissidents, researchers, and those who are especially security-conscious, the stakes are even higher.

This effort is part of our broader cybersecurity action plan to broaden access to the technologies that can help protect communities, critical systems, and our national security. We want users to have the controls to make the security and privacy choices that are right for them. At the same time, we want to ensure users understand that the increased protection of Advanced Account Security comes with an increased responsibility for account recovery.

How Advanced Account Security works

Advanced Account Security brings together a series of controls that strengthen sign-in protections, tighten account recovery, reduce exposure from compromised sessions, and give users more visibility into account activity. It's available to opt into in the Security section of users' ChatGPT accounts. Protection applies to both ChatGPT and Codex accounts that are accessed through that login.

Stronger sign-in methods. Advanced Account Security requires passkeys or physical security keys while disabling password-based login, helping make phishing-resistant sign-in the default for people who need it most.

More secure account recovery. If a user's email account or phone number is compromised, an attacker may try to use one of them to gain access to their ChatGPT account via e-mail or SMS based recovery. To reduce this risk, Advanced Account Security disables email and SMS recovery and requires stronger recovery methods: backup passkeys, security keys, and recovery keys. Because account recovery is restricted to these more secure methods, OpenAI Support will not be able to assist with account recovery for users enrolled in Advanced Account Security.

Shorter sessions and clearer session management. Sign-in sessions are shortened to reduce the window of exposure if a device or active session is compromised. Users also receive alerts when there is a login to their account, and they can review and manage the active sessions across the various devices they're signed into.

Automatic training exclusion. People working with especially sensitive information may opt not to have those conversations used for model training. With Advanced Account Security enabled, that preference is automatic: conversations from those accounts will not be used to train our models.

Making phishing-resistant authentication more accessible with Yubico

Using physical security keys, such as YubiKeys, is one of the strongest defenses against phishing. To make that level of protection easier to access, we have partnered with Yubico, a leader in hardware-based authentication and account protection, to offer our users preferred pricing on a customized bundle of best in class security keys. The YubiKey C Nano is designed to stay in your laptop for simple, low-friction daily authentication, and the YubiKey C NFC for backup, and use across laptops and mobile devices.

We're launching this partnership as part of Advanced Account Security, but the bundle will be available to all eligible users in their security settings so more people can adopt stronger, phishing-resistant account protection. Users will also be able to use any other FIDO-compliant security key, or use software-based passkeys.

Protecting Trusted Access for Cyber

We continue to expand programs that give verified defenders access to more capable and permissive models, and we need to ensure that the accounts of those defenders are protected with our most advanced security protections.

Individual members of Trusted Access for Cyber accessing our most cyber capable and permissive models will be required to enable Advanced Account Security beginning June 1, 2026. Organizations with trusted access can, as an alternative, attest that they have phishing resistant authentication as part of their single sign-on workflow.

An important step, with more to come

OpenAI is becoming the core infrastructure for AI, making it possible for people around the world and businesses, big and small, to just build things. The broad consumer reach of ChatGPT creates a powerful distribution channel into the workplace, where demand is rapidly shifting from basic model access to intelligent systems that reshape how businesses operate. Developers build on and expand the platform by leveraging our APIs, and Codex is transforming how developers turn ideas into working software.

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in our lives, it is more important than ever to ensure that users have the controls they need to help protect their privacy and security.

Privacy and security are foundational to how we build all of our products and we'll continue investing in protections that give people more control and stronger safeguards over time. We expect to extend this work to additional audiences, including enterprise environments, where stronger account security can matter just as much.

OpenAI users who want additional protection can enroll in Advanced Account Security starting today.
