ChatGPT adds Record & Replay workflow automation to Codex for macOS
TL;DR
ChatGPT adds Record & Replay to Codex for macOS. Users record a workflow once to create reusable skills with Computer Use, unavailable in the EU, UK, and Switzerland.
What changed
Codex for macOS adds Record & Replay so eligible Vibe Builders and Developers can show a workflow once and turn it into a reusable skill. Basic Users access the same flow after enabling Computer Use. The option stays unavailable in the EU, UK, and Switzerland.
Why it matters
Vibe Builders capture creative sequences on macOS without writing code each time. Developers gain speed on repeated tasks in a manner comparable to Anthropic computer use features during daily app testing cycles. Basic Users reduce manual clicks on routine file and window steps.
What to watch for
Compare the flow against Apple's Shortcuts when testing similar macOS automations. Verify eligibility by checking the Computer Use toggle inside Codex settings on a supported macOS build.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Record complex creative sequences once to turn manual macOS workflows into reusable AI skills.
- Basic Users: Enable Computer Use to record and automate repetitive window management and file tasks on macOS.
Amy’s take
OpenAI is moving fast to match Anthropic by turning screen interaction into a first class citizen. Record and Replay is a major shift from prompting to demonstrating, which lowers the barrier for complex local automation. It effectively turns the OS into a programmable canvas without requiring AppleScript or complex Shortcuts logic.
The regional restrictions in the EU and UK highlight the ongoing friction between aggressive AI feature rollouts and local privacy frameworks. For those in supported regions, this is a massive productivity gain. It moves the needle from chat interfaces toward true agentic behavior where the model learns by watching your specific professional habits.
