OpenAI employee builds an interactive home airflow simulator from a floor plan using Codex
OpenAIDevs · x · 2026-11-06
OpenAI's dev account boosted an internal experiment: after noticing poor airflow at home, an employee used Codex to turn a floor plan into an interactive airflow explorer.
- Simulates air movement based on house orientation and door/window placement
- Users can open/close doors and windows, adjust wind intensity, and watch flow lines shift between rooms
- Still an early visual study, but a neat example of making everyday problems interactive
