Who it's for

  • Developers already using ChatGPT Plus who want to start using a coding agent without extra payment
  • People who want to do other tasks while work is underway, then review the changes once results are ready
  • People who want to switch between web and terminal, continuing the same tasks in the browser

Drawbacks

  • The free tier is only for trial use; you need a paid ChatGPT plan for practical work.
  • For longer tasks, you may only notice mid-way deviations much later.
  • When handling company code, you must check organizational settings to see what gets sent to the server.

Getting started

  1. Log in with your ChatGPT account and check if your plan includes Codex.
  2. Connect your working repository or specify a folder in the terminal.
  3. Assign a goal, such as "Add logging for payment failures and write tests for it."
  4. Once finished, review each changed file and apply only what you need.
  5. Commit your changes to version control beforehand so you can revert if needed.
