OpenAI ships Appshots so Codex and ChatGPT Work can act on the live app on screen
OpenAI Developers launched Appshots, a desktop shortcut that hands ChatGPT Work and Codex the live context of the app in front of you so they can understand what you are looking at and act on it. Official examples include summarizing a Slack thread, filling a form, adding a feature from an open API reference, extracting themes from X replies, turning notes into a deck, trimming a video in iMovie, converting a recipe into a grocery list, and planning the rest of a trip from an itinerary. The feature targets human-in-the-loop coding and knowledge-work sessions on the desktop, cutting screenshot-and-paste loops by grounding the agent in the current UI rather than a stale description. For developers, the practical value is letting Codex continue from the IDE, browser, or docs surface already on screen instead of re-explaining layout, errors, or selected text.

It is also changing its Security Bug Bounty program, more than quadrupling rewards for critical findings; OpenAI's X post says exceptional findings can earn up to $172,000 including bonuses. Per OpenAI, the last sprint dedicated 25% of its product engineers to finding and fixing weaknesses, using Codex to reproduce vulnerabilities and prepare patches, and it has committed $1 billion in subsidized access over six months for frontline defenders.
