wrote.

OpenAI's new launch is available in Codex and ChatGPT Work on desktop.
Romain Huet, OpenAI's head of developer experience, gave some

The company has been expanding its slate of features — and the data it requests access to. Last week, the company rolled out Computer History, which lets ChatGPT learn from the actions you take on some apps and websites. Like the messages feature, Computer History is off by default.
