OpenAI Codex Masterclass — Vaibhav Srivastav & Katia Gil Guzman

Описание: Codex is no longer just a coding assistant in a terminal. In this workshop, Vaibhav and Katia show how it becomes a full software engineering system, combining frontier models, the Codex app and CLI, plugins, automations, and subagents that can explore, review, and execute work in parallel. The session also dives into custom subagents: showing how specialized agents with different models, permissions, and tools can speed up code review, research, debugging, and long-running tasks while keeping control and safety in place.
