Using Codex to Help Manage Personal Affairs

A user shared how they used Codex to help manage family affairs following their grandmother's passing:
- Deduplicated, cropped, retouched, and tagged over 1,200 photos by date and scene
- Built a mini approval web app to organize a memorial slideshow
- Converted a memo of songs into a looping playlist
- Remotely monitored task progress while on the go
The person sharing the post added that AI can also help update presentations, generate videos, upload large files, and notify family members during trips, showcasing a use case of "outsourcing life's chores and emotional labor to AI."
