🤖 OpenAI taught Codex to work on a locked Mac from your phone

OpenAI updated Codex so users can now send tasks from a smartphone and have the agent execute them on a Mac even when the computer is locked and the screen is off.

The feature works through the new Computer Use plugin. Codex temporarily unlocks the system in the background, performs the task, and locks the Mac again. If someone touches the keyboard or mouse, the session immediately stops.

Until now, AI agents generally required an active desktop session to function.
