Vibe coding just got a whole lot more adorable. OpenAI introduced AI-generated pets to the Codex app<\/a>, its agentic tool that helps with coding. These “optional animated companions” don’t do any coding themselves, but serve as a floating overlay that can tell you what Codex is working on, notify you when Codex completes a task or whether it needs your input on something. The new feature lets developers see Codex’s active thread,\u00a0without having to switch away from your current open app.<\/p>\n

Users can type “\/pet” in to the Codex app to summon or dismiss the companion. There are eight built-in pets to choose from, but you can also generate your own with the help of AI with the “\/hatch” command, like a cute goblin<\/a> companion. Early adopters have already uploaded a bunch of options<\/a> and there are even some versions<\/a> of Microsoft Clippy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pets are already available on both Windows and macOS versions of Codex. For a limited time, OpenAI is also offering 30 days of ChatGPT Pro for 10 of their favorite generated companions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
