Sub Lesson 2

A complete guide to Codex

Choose when to use Codex and follow the video demonstration

This lesson is for people using Codex.

Claude Code, Codex and Cursor are alternatives; one tool is enough. If you have no specific reason to choose another, use Claude Code. Codex is also suitable if you already pay for ChatGPT, your company uses it, or you frequently create images. The core course's approach applies to either tool.

Watch the demonstration

Installation and controls are easier to follow on screen. The video covers installation, settings, image generation and work automation from beginning to end.

Keep these points in mind while watching

• Codex is available in four forms; choose the desktop app.
• Local and cloud execution: begin locally, on your own computer.
• Workspace: choose the folder where Codex will work. See Chapter 4.
• Permissions: decide which actions require approval. Start with settings that ask you to approve actions.
• Plan mode: decide what to do before execution. Use it to agree on the work first.
• Plugins: connect external tools to add capabilities. See Chapter 4.
• Automations: start Codex at a scheduled time. See Chapter 5.
• Image generation: provide reference images to make the intended result clear.

Ask AI when you get stuck

If a screen differs from the video or an operation behaves differently, share a screenshot and explain the problem.
