The Codex Memory Feature

Codex features a highly useful 'memory' capability that recognizes your personal context, such as identifying who sent an important email or summarizing Slack conversations relevant only to you.

Alternatives to Plugins

If you can't find an official plugin for a specific task, building a custom skill through chat is the fastest way to 'teach' the AI to handle your repetitive tasks.

Advantages of the Expo Plugin

For app developers, the Expo plugin is incredibly useful as it allows you to view a 'mobile app preview' directly within the Codex interface.
