OpenAI has introduced three new courses in its Academy program. These courses are designed to help learners build practical AI skills, create repeatable workflows, and apply AI agents in everyday work. The initiative targets workers adapting to the next era of AI-driven productivity.
OpenAI has announced its plan to acquire Ona, a provider of secure, persistent cloud environments. The acquisition will integrate Ona's infrastructure into OpenAI's Codex platform, enabling developers to run long-lived AI agents. These agents will be capable of executing multi-step enterprise workflows without losing state. The move expands Codex from a code-generation tool into a hosted environment for autonomous task execution. It aims to provide secure, stateful execution contexts that persist across sessions. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Nextdoor engineers have adopted OpenAI’s Codex, now powered by GPT-5.5, to tackle three key engineering challenges. They use it to investigate hard-to-reproduce bugs by generating hypotheses and test scripts. The tool enables more efficient cross-platform development by helping translate logic between web and mobile codebases. Additionally, it automates routine tasks, allowing developers to focus on higher-level product outcomes.
Notion integrated OpenAI Codex into its workflow to automatically generate product specifications in a single pass, accelerating design-to-code processes. The team built a web-based AI voice input feature, enabling users to interact with Notion naturally through speech. Codex also helps multiply the output of small engineering teams, reducing manual coding effort and allowing them to ship features faster.
OpenAI blog post about Endava's adoption of AI agents, ChatGPT Enterprise, and Codex to transform software delivery. The company is accelerating development cycles by automating workflows and integrating AI into core processes. Endava is building an AI-native culture across the enterprise to boost productivity and innovation. The post highlights practical implementations and outcomes from using these tools.
