ChatGPT and Codex Computer Use can test apps end to end and use software without APIs
gabrielchua · x · 2026-07-23
A post argues that ChatGPT/Codex Computer Use is an underrated tool in the AI era because it can operate like a general-purpose browser/app operator.
The examples given are practical rather than flashy:
- end-to-end testing for web, desktop, and mobile apps
- testing integrations with other apps
- using software that has no API or CLI
The core claim is that this kind of computer-use workflow unlocks a huge amount of tasks AI can now handle.
