OpenAI Codex Workshop: Cloud Handoffs, Voice as Control Plane, and Practical dots Workflows
Latent Space · rss · 2026-11-11
Latent Space attended OpenAI's "New Ways of Working with Codex" workshop at AI Engineer Code Summit, hosted by DX engineers Dominik Kundel and Charlie Guo:
- Cloud transition still awkward: Codex Cloud v2 (post-DevDay) lets you publish an environment once and run multiple tasks in isolated instances, shareable across a company. Local work can be handed off by asking Codex to push a branch and start a cloud thread — the cloud is becoming "just another executor."
- Voice as control plane: Guo treats voice not as dictation but as a way to manage threads, check in on agents, pull data from apps, and create new tasks. Kundel talks to his dot on his commute to kick off PRs so they're ready for review later.
- Three uses for dots (personal agents): a safety net flagging missed things, a "delegation sink" (heavily used in Slack), and a ubiquitous presence with full context — Kundel starts many tasks from his dot rather than prompting Codex directly.
Practical tips include turning down the effort level, asking agents for help, and not getting attached to any fixed workflow.
