Codex Founder Tibo: The App is Close to Being a Super App, What’s the Next Step to Become a Super Duper App?
Tibo (@thsottiaux), the founder of Codex, posted that the Codex App is currently very close to being a "Super App". He asked the community: What should a Super Duper App do?
He hopes developers and users will think together about how to evolve Codex from a powerful AI Agent tool into a more comprehensive and ambitious next-generation super application.

Tibo's post reveals Codex's clear ambition: not to be satisfied with being the "best Agent tool" but to aspire to become a super entry point like WeChat, covering multiple scenarios in users' work, life, and creation. Currently, Codex is leading in areas such as code, Agent scheduling, and the right-side workspace. The next steps may focus on:
- Multi-Agent team collaboration and persistent memory
- Seamless cross-platform integration (mobile, desktop, web)
- Built-in capabilities for payments, file management, project collaboration, etc.
- Plugin ecosystem and deep integration with vertical industries
This aligns closely with previous thoughts from developers like Garry Tan and Riley Brown on the future form of Agents.
Structural judgment: Essentially a platform reconstruction. Codex is evolving from a single AI tool to an "AI-native super application". The mechanism is that as Agent capabilities mature, users will need a unified entry point to orchestrate all AI capabilities, driving developers and capital towards an AI platform that can provide a complete work-life loop, initiating the competition for the next generation of "AI operating systems".

Super App solves connectivity, Super Duper App solves everything.
The best AI is not the one with the most features, but the one that keeps users from having to switch applications.
Whoever first turns AI into an indispensable super entry point for users will hold the pricing power of the next generation of digital life.
