OpenAI Codex can now move Windows?
2026.06.01Hey - it’s the Carat team. 🤗 Today we’re looking at OpenAI Codex on Windows, the rising cost of AI coding tools, enterprise AI budget cuts, and Asana’s AI workflow acquisition.
OpenAI Codex can now move Windows?
OpenAI just expanded Codex to mobile and Windows. AI coding tools are moving beyond the chat window and into the actual workspace.
The shift is bigger than “AI writes code for you.” If Codex can keep tasks moving from your phone and take action on a Windows computer, jobs like fixing a website or building an app feature start to feel less like chatting with a bot and more like handing work to an assistant.
AI coding is no longer just a model race. The fight is moving toward tools that can continue work anywhere, touch real files and screens, and actually finish the task.
📌 Today’s 3 AI stories
1️⃣ AI coding now leaks money as you use it?
GitHub Copilot’s new usage-based billing is frustrating developers. Once token-based pricing enters the picture, “how much the team uses AI” turns into a visible cost line.
That changes the story. AI coding tools used to be sold as a productivity boost. Now they can also become a cost sink if teams use them heavily without a plan. The real question becomes: what should AI handle, and where does the bill start to outweigh the speedup?
AI tool selection is shifting from “which feature looks best?” to “can we afford to use this every day?”
2️⃣ Enterprise AI is selling budget cuts now
Enterprise AI search and work tool Glean reportedly crossed $300 million in annual recurring revenue. But the more telling part is how the product is being sold. The message is less “smarter AI” and more “we can cut your AI spending.”
Once companies move past the experiment phase, the question gets simple. Does this tool save time? Does it reduce duplicate spending? Will the team actually keep using it?
3️⃣ AI workflows are moving into work apps
Asana acquired StackAI, a no-code AI workflow builder. It helps non-developers automate work without having to build the system from scratch.
That matters because AI automation is moving out of side experiments and into the tools people already use every day. Docs, task routing, status updates, and research cleanup could increasingly be handed to AI from inside the work app itself.
🧪 Today’s prompt tip
Turn your photo into a subway birthday ad
Today’s prompt tip is a birthday subway ad verification selfie made on Carat. Add your photo, and it turns the scene into a Seoul subway billboard with your birthday ad on the screen and the same person taking a verification selfie in front of it.
This was made on Carat.
Make sure to update the name and birthday for your own use case. Use a friend’s name and date for a birthday card, or an idol’s name and anniversary for a fan event image. Keep the subway billboard, selfie pose, and Seoul subway atmosphere intact to preserve the K-POP birthday ad feel.
Use ChatGPT Images 2 Medium with the prompt below to create an image.
A hyper-realistic Korean subway birthday advertisement photo.
The same person from the reference photo appears in TWO places:
1. On the subway billboard advertisement itself
2. Standing in front of the billboard, naturally pointing at it with one hand while taking a verification selfie
Real Seoul subway station atmosphere, front-facing composition, tiled walls, large digital advertising billboard, shot as if taken with an iPhone handheld selfie.
Preserve the person's face, hairstyle, and overall vibe exactly as in the original photo.
Soft pastel tones, gentle lighting, sentimental K-POP birthday ad style, refined Korean typography design.
Text on the billboard:
"[수현] HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
"[2004.05.28]"
※ Replace the name and date on the billboard section as needed!
Natural and cute full-body pose.
The atmosphere of a real fan birthday ad verification selfie.
Hyper-realistic, no AI-generated look - completely natural.
