ChatGPT's desktop app merges its Chat and Work tabs
OpenAI joins the two tabs; Codex stays separate. ChatGPT and Codex share one usage pool.
ChatGPT will put chatting and doing work in one place on your computer. You ask for an idea, then ask it to build it, without changing screens. A few users get it first.
