Feature Request: Let ChatGPT monitor and supervise active Codex tasks

Open 💬 2 comments Opened Jul 15, 2026 by wangqj646-hub

Problem

ChatGPT can already hand tasks off to Codex, but it cannot see Codex's live progress or intermediate results.

In my workflow, ChatGPT can inspect a reference image, identify exactly what Codex modeled incorrectly, and generate precise correction instructions. But I still have to manually screenshot Codex's output, bring it back to ChatGPT, then copy the correction back into Codex.

This makes the user act as an API between two OpenAI products.

Proposed Solution

Ideally, ChatGPT should be able to:

  • View the status and progress of a Codex task
  • Inspect intermediate outputs
  • Interrupt execution when something is clearly wrong
  • Send correction instructions directly to Codex

Ideal Workflow

ChatGPT should be the supervisor. Codex should be the executor.

Motivation

The current ChatGPT → Codex handoff is missing half the feedback loop. ChatGPT has vision, reasoning, and context — it can evaluate Codex's work far better than the user copy-pasting between tabs. Without this supervision layer, users are forced to be the glue between two products from the same company.

This isn't about UI polish — it's about closing an architectural gap in the ChatGPT + Codex integration.
