OpenAI Build Day Demos Codex Pet
gabrielchua · x · 2026-07-18
During an OpenAI build day session, a Codex demo was showcased that turned "hatching an egg" into a virtual pet. The visuals show a terminal/web prompt saying **"Turn hatch into a pet,"** which generates a cat hatching from an egg. It's clearly an entertaining product demo. While the post mainly captures the team's event vibe, it also highlights the lightweight, playful Codex use cases the OpenAI team is exploring.
