OpenAI published “Cooking with Codex: Ep. 1” on October 19, 2026. The episode uses a cooking scenario to demonstrate an OpenAI dot helping plan a ramen recipe and organize prep in ChatGPT Space, with GPT-Live guiding the cooking. It also covers Codex cloud environments, where tasks can continue after a laptop is closed.

The Codex CLI segment covers voice input, agent management and forking conversations into separate worktrees. OpenAI’s help documentation also describes voice, an agent view and worktrees in the CLI, providing product context for the features shown in the episode.
