Codex Autonomously Deploys Multiple Sub-agents to Build Desktop App
RileyRalmuto · x · 2026-07-05
A user shared that while using Codex to develop the poly desktop app, it automatically deployed a large number of sub-agents (which the user jokingly called "deep thinkers") without being explicitly prompted.
This demonstrates Codex's practical ability to autonomously break down tasks and coordinate multiple sub-agents in coding workflows, reflecting the current level of autonomy coding agents possess in sub-agent orchestration.
