Dev builds a visual 'office' for Codex agents so you can watch them work in real time

Tired of watching agents work through a chat interface, a developer gave them an office instead: agents visibly run around doing tasks and drop finished work in the user's mailbox.
The visual interface is a wrapper around the @OpenAI ChatGPT desktop app — the same Codex agents, but now you can actually see them work in real time. The poster also argues that the lack of UX innovation in consumer AI apps (too much text, too few visuals) is holding back AI's real potential.
