OpenAI's Codex Adds New Tools — Sites, Annotations, More Plugins — for Knowledge Workers

OpenAI says the update is aimed at enterprise users and knowledge workers, with 5 million weekly active users now using Codex.

  • On Tuesday, OpenAI announced a major update to Codex, transforming its AI coding agent into a broader enterprise work platform with three new capabilities: Sites, Annotations, and six role-specific plugins aggregating 62 business applications.
  • Knowledge workers now constitute 20% of Codex's 5 million weekly active users and are adopting the technology three times faster than traditional engineers, prompting OpenAI to expand beyond its developer-focused roots.
  • The new role-specific plugins connect business applications including Salesforce and Figma with 110 automated skills built in, while Annotations enables precise, in-place editing of documents without full-file regeneration.
  • Users can now create and share interactive, hosted web applications via secure workspace URLs using Sites, allowing teams to collaborate on scenario planners, dashboards, and project boards directly within Codex.
  • Codex now functions as an enterprise orchestration layer positioning OpenAI to compete directly with Anthropic's agentic tools, with the announcement arriving as Microsoft showcases productivity features at its annual BUILD conference.
