Shortcuts Lead Ari Weinstein, Now at OpenAI, Talking Computer Use for Codex

Former Shortcuts lead Ari Weinstein, who's been at OpenAI working on Codex, shares a detailed walkthrough of Computer Use.

Former Shortcuts team lead and Workflow co-founder Ari Weinstein, whoโ€™s now at OpenAI after the acquisition of his company Software Applications Incorporated and app Sky, has released a videowith Head of Developer Experience Romain Huet about Computer Use, the feature Ariโ€™s team has developed and released as part of Codex:

Had a great time chatting with @romainhuet about computer use in Codex!

Ariโ€™s deep understanding of Apple platforms led him to both develop Workflow, turn it into Shortcuts and then App Intents at Apple (which powers the new Siri), and then to the beta version of Sky to access low-level features in macOS with an action-oriented AI experience.

Now, Ari & his team have taken what they built for Sky and turned it into Computer Use for Codex, which Ari explains in-detail in the video โ€“ itโ€™s well worth a watch:

Computer use lets Codex work across your apps without taking over your Mac.

@AriX talks with @romainhuet about what changes when agents can click, type, and keep working in the background.

Check out Ariโ€™s post on X and watch the 11:25 video from @OpenAIDevs.
