🍭 OpenAI Drops Another Tool 👨‍💻

Good morning. Codex just shipped a bug fix on your behalf. Meanwhile, 47% of salespeople are still arguing with ChatGPT about how to write a subject line.

The AI divide isn’t technical. It’s philosophical.

Who’s delegating, and who’s drowning?

What’s Cookin’:

• Codex Is OpenAI’s Full-Stack Dev Agent

• Sales Teams Are Not Okay (And It’s Not AI’s Fault)

• 5 tools to build faster, market smarter, and think less

• Steal This Prompt: Helicopter Icon Ad Generator

• And everything else…

OpenAI
Codex: OpenAI’s Full-Stack Engineering Agent

The Bite: OpenAI just dropped Codex. A cloud-based AI agent that writes, debugs, tests, and commits code on its own.

Not just suggestions. Full tasks run in parallel inside sandboxed environments.

Powered by a version of o3 fine-tuned for software engineering using reinforcement learning on real coding workflows.

It’s not helping you write code. It’s out here shipping it for you. Literally

Snacks: 

• Fix bugs, write features, answer code questions, open PRs

• Runs tasks in isolated cloud environments (no local setup needed)

• Uses AGENTS.md to learn repo-specific workflows + testing instructions

• Verifiable output: terminal logs, test results, and citations for every step

• Rolling out now to Pro, Team, and Enterprise users

Why it Bites: This is a shift. Copilots → Contractors.

It’s trained to follow your coding style, your tests, your folder spaghetti.

And it doesn’t just suggest it delivers output with citations, logs, and working tests.

Early users (Cisco, Temporal, Superhuman) are already offloading their dev chores like they just hired 10 unpaid interns who never sleep.

The future isn’t typing faster it’s delegating smarter.

One day soon, “engineer” might just mean “AI task router with a cool laptop sticker.”

AI in Sales
⛏️ Sales Teams Are Not Okay

The Bite: A new report from Breakthrough says AI isn’t helping sales teams close, it’s helping them… edit decks and question their life choices.

Turns out “sounding human” still requires being human.


Snacks:

• 47% of sales pros use AI daily for 30–60 mins

• Top use cases: content gen, prospect research, meeting prep

• Main complaint: too much iteration, not enough usable output

• Privacy isn’t the fear — “loss of control” is

Why it bites: Sales is about trust, tone, and knowing when to shut up.

AI’s great at looking right but still stumbles on sounding right, especially when stakes are high or nuance matters.

This is the tension we’ll keep seeing:

AI speeds up generic tasks, but still struggles with context, conviction, and creativity.

The best reps?

They won’t replace themselves.

They’ll use AI to buy back time and double down on the parts that actually move the needle.
