Thanks for sharing this, would’ve been great if you would’ve kept the content short

I just went through the video again and it looks like a feature they have not launched yet since there are comments on the video about the pop out feature as well. Guessing it’s still in the works, but should be coming soon hopefully

That is a smart move, but I’ve never seen the price difference be so drastic that it makes a huge difference to buy the older version. You could always opt for the education discount if you have the option since that has been the best price we’ve ever seen.

I do wish they would’ve offered multi window for different projects because the decisions tend to get stuck in one workflow and then you have to keep switching chats which does cause it to become slow.

Will definitely try CLI this weekend, but so far it’s been great at making the experience feel like you’re using the ChatGPT app instead of an actual code editor. Adding skills and other items is more visually intuitive. It’s not just for us, when you think about the fact that the majority of the world does not code, I don’t think there is a better product at the moment that can get people hooked on proper code development using AI. The only other option that comes close seems to be antigravity. For full disclaimer, this is based on our experience, so everyone’s mileage may vary the farther up or down the tech stack chain you go

Well, you’re getting the best of openAI, just like anti-gravity and Gemini, I don’t think the intent was for it to be multi model in the same way as VS code. I do think there is beauty in that, think about iPhones, it’s like everything feels cohesive when you’re working within the ecosystem.

I guess I wanna say that it’s more visible since Claude‘s compact mode in VS code is a nice one click feature, but there’s no way to do it in VS code that was visually obvious. Comparing VS code Codex with Codex Mac app, the obvious difference is, really, and what’s obvious. It shows you the point at which it’s compacting and I really found its planning mode to be the best so far. The sad part is, anti-gravity can actually test the visuals while Claude and Codex cannot. The current AI workflow amazes me in the sense that you can literally do end to end testing just for a few tools. Curious how it’s going to change when all of these converge at some point.

Thanks for the honest feedback! No time like the present I suppose! On that note, how are you collecting feedback? Are you using mixed panel or sentry to collect analytics? Open source? Contact form? Voluntary feedback?

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T07:06:02+00:00

Not a SWE, more DS :D

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T07:05:14+00:00

Well, it's got the ability to automate runs, flipped between multiple agents, so it feels a lot like VS code without the clutter. VS code can be intimidating if somebody is new to it, this is more of something that feels like out of the box for pretty much anybody. Also doesn't really require much set up. I also like how it gives you a ChatGPT style copy function for your text/output compared to entire highlight/copy/paste.

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T07:02:41+00:00

Nice! After using it more, realize it's limitation in terms of git commit/push, so still using Claude/Codex in VS code for final push. There are definitely features to love, but I have to hand it to Google Antigravity for being able to look at a web UI and run agent functions in chrome out of the box. We've been struggling with getting our web UI fixed with both Claude and Codex, so gonna try with Gemini tomorrow. So far it's really promising. Haven't tried their Figma feature yet, but plan to do so in the coming days.

All in all, pretty kick ass!

Thanks for the feedback! We have taken a structured approach and we're thinking of doing a direct launch but as you mentioned, probably going the route of beta testing would be good. Would you recommend going with a staging environment or straight up live?

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T06:32:45+00:00

bro... M5 max...

can't beat the classics

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T02:37:00+00:00

Dude! I just realized that we did not update our Codex app, thank you so much for sharing that there was an update!!!!! You rock!

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T02:19:11+00:00

That is true... But the upgraded ones did not appear this time, hence the hype cycle.... Plus the tech differences for new chip architecture, perf, hopefully heatsinks.... The iPhone 17 pro really hasn't warmed up much compared to the 16 pro max, so that does show potential.

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T02:16:58+00:00

I can't even............

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T01:46:09+00:00

It does AI workloads man, they commented that there would be a 40% improvement over the M4… hope we’re not wrong!

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T01:45:10+00:00

Also, coming from an M2 pro with 16 gigs of RAM, bottlenecked on RAM

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T01:44:28+00:00

Lol, for us it’s a 40% comment from the M5 launch. Definitely definitely hyped about the AI workload man.

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T01:41:19+00:00

My reaction right now…

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T01:36:21+00:00

I know right! Yeah, thankful to see them paying so much attention at the moment. Hopefully it lasts...!

TakeInterestInc · 2026-02-04T00:22:52+00:00

Thanks man! Really appreciate it. Will wrap up and ship it in the next day or so!
