I think there's a gap between the reality of Vibe coding yourself useful tools and dashboards and the practicality of the enterprise reality of sharing it with your team. I mean, yeah, you can Vibe code yourself some autonomous dashboard thingy, but what good is it if it's using old data and requires human duct tape or if your team can't actually take advantage of it in a secure way? That's problem number one. Problem number two, the file sharing nature of big business is still stuck in the pre-AI era. I mean, you have static files that are shared back and forth via email or versions of a deck that are stacked up on a desktop that are final one, final two, final three, really final, right? That doesn't exactly scream AI native. So OpenAI's new Codex Sites feature sets off to solve both of those problems. But I get the issue. You've probably had like zero time to use the new Codex Sites. There's huge drops every day. You want to go use that new Claude Mythos Fable 5 model. You want to check out all the new Codex plugins. You're itching to use the new Copilot Scout. You don't have time to spend hours with Codex Sites. Don't worry. I did the hard work for you. And that's why we do this thing on Wednesdays called Putting AI to Work on Wednesdays. So we're going to see if Codex is really a Replit and Lovable killer and if it'll change the way that we share files forever or if it's just another drop in the AI features bucket that will be forgot about in a couple of weeks. Well, there's only one way to find out. Let's get to it and do this thing live. All right, welcome. If you're new here, my name is Jordan Wilson, but let's talk about the big picture. Static work is now becoming live software. Whether you've seen this or not, the business world is shifting. It's getting easier and easier to make living, breathing versions of your company's most important work. And I think we're obviously getting far away from the days of just sharing old and different version files to sharing information and intelligence for your company that updates automatically. Codex Sites shows how non-technical teams can build and ship usable apps and work, you know, kind of these different workflow, you know, dashboards, all these different things, just from a single prompt. And I think the real shift is not just coding faster, it's shifting your mindset to work differently. So on today's show, stick with me for the next 25 minutes. And you're going to learn why static documents, decks and version file chaos may be finally nearing their end. You're going to know how any team member can build and ship a live app from a single prompt today. You're going to see whether OpenAI's Codex Sites is a real replete and lovable competitor or something entirely different. And you're going to know what the agent layer inside of Codex Sites means for how your team runs its tools. Let's get to it. Welcome to Everyday AI. My name is Jordan Wilson. This thing's for you.

Codex Sites, are they going to be the next big wave? Is this going to be something as big as like Claude Code was at the end of 2025 and early 2026? I think the potential is definitely there, but you're going to have to decide with me. And yes, on Wednesdays, we do these more hands-on demos. Sometimes they go really well, sometimes they blow up my face. So we'll see how this one goes, but this might be one of those ones. You might want to catch the video version of this. So make sure you go to youreverydayai.com. We have the video versions on there. Also, we did a two-part series of a Codex breakdown. So if I'm showing you something and you're like, wait, what is this Codex thing? I already spent a ton of time, probably 30 plus hours putting these two shows together. So make sure you go listen to episode 781 That was part two in our two-part series of kind of advanced Codex for newbies.
