“Codex now has more than 5 million weekly active users, up more than 6x since the launch of the desktop app in February,” reads a blog post introducing the report. “While developers remain the largest user group, knowledge workers now represent about 20 percent of users and are growing more than three times as fast.”

To further court those users, OpenAI released a set of six plug-ins aimed at specific jobs: data analytics, creative production, sales, product design, equity investing, and investment banking. Available from within the Codex app, each of the new tools bundles integrations, instructions, and context to allow Codex to approximate a specific job.

Like any AI tool, the plug-ins will grow more effective with user customization, but they’re meant to be effective tools out of the box.

The new tools come after a similar push for agentic plugins from Anthropic, which launched its Enterprise Agents program in February. (A more specific set of finance-oriented agents launched in May.) With its traditional consumer focus, OpenAI has been slower to court enterprise customers, only introducing plugin support for Codex in March.
