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. 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.
