You're in the right place if you use

Chat GBT, Quad, Quad Code, Cloud

Co-Work, or Codeex, but don't know which

one you should use for business and how.

Because in this video, we're talking

about using AI agents effectively.

Specifically, we're talking about

Codeex, OpenAI's agent tool, which is

like Cloud Code, except it's an easy to

use interface for doing knowledge work

and coding work. In this video, we're

going to be breaking down the seven core

capabilities of Codeex, OpenAI's AI

agent super app, each with realworld use

cases so that by the end you know

exactly what it can do and where it fits

in your workflow. Let's get started.

So, this right here is Codeex. This is a

clean interface for AI agents that can

fully control your computer. At first

glance, it kind of looks like chat GBT

or Claude because you can create a chat,

but they're not exactly the same. When

you chat on ChatGpt or Claude and upload

files, those files are actually stored

in the cloud. With Codeex, all of the

files that you upload to Codeex or that

you create with Codeex are stored on

your computer. Codeex is made to do any

task that you might want to do on a

computer. You can create a motion

graphics video. You can create beautiful

landing pages and directly inside Codex,

you can generate images that you can

place in your site on Codeex. You can

also create more complex games and 3D

simulations. You can also create mobile

apps with a front end and backend with a

professional design. You can also create

desktop apps in just a few prompts. You

can ask GPT 5.5 to create you an Excel

sheet after doing a ton of research and

it can create spreadsheets with multiple

slides. It can also create any type of

word doc with many different charts and

you can also create presentations

directly inside codecs and export them

to Canva or any other tool you want. And

I haven't even mentioned yet that codeex

can fully control my computer and it can

also control the browser. But this is

something we'll talk about a little bit

later. As we go through the main seven

different capabilities of Codeex, you'll

realize that it is truly a super app

that does any coding task or any

knowledge work task. Let's not waste any

time. Let's hop into capability number

one. So the first capability that Codex

has is full file access. You see when I

use chat GPT all of the files that I

give to chat GPT or that chat GPT

generates are stored in the cloud.

However, when we use codecs, all of the

files that are created or the files that

I give to it are stored on your computer

and the agent inside codeex has full

access to your computer. Let me show

you. In my downloads folder, I have a

folder called receipts to process. And

we just have 60 different little photos

of receipts that I've added to this

folder. I can simply ask codeex. In the

downloads folder, you'll see my receipts

that I need to process. I want you to

analyze them in an Excel sheet and

create charts that helps me visualize

the types of transactions and any other

patterns that you notice. So we can

choose our model which is GPT 5.5 high

and we can run it. And the agent because

it has full file access, it can access

any file on my computer. It'll find the

relevant folder and complete the task.

And you can see here it found the target

folder which is users Riley Brown

downloads receipts to process with only

53 receipts. I'm going to OCR those. And

so we're going to extract the text from

those receipts. Classify and categorize

each transaction. Now it's creating an

Excel workbook on my computer that we

can open up in Codeex. All right. So

after 7 minutes it is now done and we

can very easily just open this Excel

project up directly inside codeex and

you can see that it has created this

file. We can see there's a dashboard.

The total spend is 25,982.

We see receipts, category summary,

payment summary and we can see all the

different trends, the spend by payment

method. We can see the monthly trends.

This is an Excel sheet. And because it's

on our computer, if you click this down

arrow, you can see open in folder and we

can see the exact file location of this

Excel spreadsheet. So now that we know

that all of the files created on Codeex

live on your computer, the question

becomes, how do you stay organized? And

I will tell you the best way that you

can stay organized inside Codeex is to

work in a project. So you can create a

chat in one of two ways. One way you can

create a chat is if you just go to this

chats category and you just hit this new

chat button. It allows you to create a

chat that just shows up here in the

sidebar. It's not actually inside a

project. Or you can go ahead and you can

create a project. And you can always hit

start at existing folder. And I put all

of my projects in my documents folder.

And then I will just create a new

project. Seven capabilities because

that's what we're talking about. We can

create a new folder. And now we see that

we're creating a new chat inside the

seven capabilities folder. You'll see

here this project will show up here in

the left side panel. And as soon as I

add a chat, you can see the chat shows

up here. The cool part about codeex is

you can multitask and you can create

multiple chats at the same time. Here

I'm going to ask the agent to create a

word doc.

And we're doing this within a chat

inside the seven capabilities folder.

Any document that the agent creates when

it's in a chat inside a project will

actually store the document that it

creates in this folder on your computer.

So if we click these three dots here and

say open in Finder and we open the seven

categories folder, we'll see that

there's nothing in it. And that's

because the agent is not done creating

the document. As soon as the agent's

done, it's going to put the uh document

that it creates in this project. And as

you can see here, we have this word doc

that was created and it's called learn

90% of openi codecs in under 2 minutes.

You can see the title of the folder

right here. If we go ahead and open up

finder at that location and we click on

outputs and docs, you can see that that

document is located right here. So this

is literally on my computer by default.

And so this video that I'm making now is

called the seven capabilities of codeex.

And if we were to create a new chat in

this folder, the chat would be aware

that it is starting out in this project.

I can type at learn and see I can

actually at@mention any file that's

created within this seven capabilities

folder and I can say please turn this

into a landing page a good learning

resource for my viewers

and so I can take any document within

this folder and I can just atmention it

and say please turn this to a landing

page and because it can control my

computer and go look at all of the

documents that are organized very

easily. It can find the right document

and then create a landing page and the

code for that landing page will exist on

my computer. And here we go. It's done.

We can open this up and we can see that

it created a landing page based on that

document that is stored on our computer.

And let's go ahead and move on to the

next capability. Next up, Codex has

something called persistent memory. So

within Codex, there's two types of

memory. There's manual memory and

there's auto memory. Manual memory is

when you ask the agent to remember

something. When you tell it, hey, can

you remember this going forward in the

future? Let me show you an example. So,

I made a few changes to that landing

page and got it to create it in this

format with this little left sidebar. We

can scroll down and we can automatically

snap to the section that we like. I
