Codex sessions no longer need to end with files sitting on a local machine: a new feature called "Sites" lets Codex publish its work as hosted, interactive web pages accessible via shareable URLs. Teams can use these pages for dashboards, scenario planners, project trackers, launch hubs or other collaborative workspaces and hand a link to colleagues to access them.
What Sites do
- Sites are not static pages but collaborative canvases that the whole workspace can explore and contribute to.
- You can ask Codex to keep a site up to date as data or content changes.
- Precise refinement is supported: you can point to an exact part of a site, document, spreadsheet, or slide and Codex will update only that piece rather than rebuilding the entire page—effectively AI-powered inline editing.
Availability
Sites are currently in preview for Business and Enterprise teams and, according to the announcement, will expand more broadly soon.
Expanding Codex beyond developers
OpenAI is also pushing Codex into non-technical knowledge work. As part of that effort it released six open-source, role-specific plugins that bundle apps, skills, and workflows for particular job functions.
Released plugins and integrations
- Data Analytics: integrates Snowflake, Databricks, Hex, and Tableau.
- Creative Production: connects to Figma, Canva, and Picsart.
- Sales: brings in Salesforce, HubSpot, and Clay.
- Additional plugins cover Product Design, Equity Investing, and Investment Banking.
Across the six plugins there are 62 apps and 110 skills.
Customization and next plugins
Plugins work out of the box but are owned by the teams that use them—each can be adapted to a team's specific workflows, and organizations can build and share custom plugins. OpenAI indicated Corporate Finance, Private Equity, Marketing Strategy, and Legal plugins are coming next.
User trends and significance
Non-developers already make up 20% of Codex's five million weekly users and are growing three times faster than developers. Together, Sites and the role-specific plugins signal OpenAI's intent to make Codex a general-purpose platform for collaborative knowledge work, not just a tool for code generation.
