Research hotels and launch a custom trip site with Codex
Claire used Codex on her phone to steer a Mac, compare lodging, map it in Google Maps, and publish a vacation-planning site.
- What they did
- While walking, Claire controlled Codex on her computer from her phone. Codex looked up hotel availability, marked the choices on Google Maps, and built a custom site for planning the vacation before putting it live. In another test, the browser found dishwashers ready for delivery in Austin and continued until the checkout page.
- How it went
- The trip site went live on the first try with minimal guidance. The post does not say which hotels were found or describe the finished site.
- Tips
- Remote control is limited to Mac, and the computer must stay awake with the Codex app open. For anything that involves paying, booking, or sending, make the agent stop and wait for approval.
