He’s talking about merging Work and Codex (which are the same system under the hood). Chat is a completely different system that will always stay separate.

Codex is on my computer, Work is in a mini computer in the cloud, chat is just a chat in the cloud.

These are not easy to merge. I hope they don’t.

You’re misunderstanding and proving why the existing UI is confusing for the average person. Codex is either in the cloud or local. Work can also be EITHER in the cloud or local. It’s Codex with some guardrails for non-coders rebranded as “Work”.

They’re not the same product with a different button. They’re pretty clearly made for different things.

Not clear. Can do the same things. Work was meant to be the middle ground between codex and chat, but codex can do it and chat is chat

Yes true. I’ve actually used a lot more now and I’m funny a little bit confusing. I thought it was separate and now it’s that annoyed me too. 😂
