What they did
OpenAI engineers described using Codex computer use on tasks that needed a live screen pointer, including clicking through websites and desktop apps without an available API. They asked it to enter information into forms, search through PDF documents, and look over one engineer’s personal tax paperwork.
How it went
In one tax review, it spotted an error that would have cost the user thousands of dollars. The write-up did not include detailed steps, timing, or other failure examples.
Tips
Use this kind of agent where there is no direct integration and you need the tool to act in a visible interface. For connected tools like email or Slack, a normal connector is usually faster and lighter.

Try it yourself with Codex

Open [form or PDF file path] and use the details in [source documents folder] to fill in the requested fields. Then compare the finished draft with my [tax year] documents and flag anything that looks mismatched, missing, or inconsistent. Pause before you submit, sign, pay, send, or delete anything, and show me the completed form plus your list of issues first.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
