it is becoming f*cking dangerous Official OpenAI documentation for Codex: "dots" agents are here, and they write code autonomously in the cloud while your laptop is completely powered off The idea: your personal agent runs 24/7 on GPT-6 Astra in its own cloud environment with a dedicated browser, delegating builds directly to Codex CLI Next-level autonomy with zero waiting: you assign a task, close your laptop, and the agent continues shipping code while pinging your Slack only when approval is needed You launch it directly from your terminal like this: codex --dot @alfred --autonomous here's the split: → your dot runs 24/7 inside a secure cloud container powered by GPT-6 Astra → operates its own browser and task memory, carrying out research even while you are offline → autonomously schedules and executes development workflows in your repository via Codex Micro → alerts you in Slack or Teams only when an architectural decision strictly requires human judgment The dot only reaches out at three critical moments: → when an external portal requires private credential input via the Take over action → when an ongoing run risks exceeding allocated token budgets or deadlines → before pushing final production diffs to upstream branches to request human sign-off Astra reasons · Dot coordinates · Codex builds Process isolation executes one layer down: task state and execution memory sync across continuous cloud containers, so background workers run without human prompt latency and yield control in milliseconds when you hit "Take over" the full tree > persistent cloud dot agent on GPT-6 Astra maintains long-term memory across sessions > direct integration with Codex CLI enables remote delegation of complex engineering tasks > Tasks & Memory engine anchors project context so architectural decisions survive reboots > cross-platform bridges route routine development output to logs and critical gates directly to Slack > Take over controls let developers seize command of the cloud browser or terminal in one click paste the tree and this prompt into Codex ↓ "Rebuild my Codex setup around this tree: • Configure persistent dot agent on GPT-6 Astra with cloud container and headless browser access • Set up workspace bridges to route routine dev logs to files and critical architectural gates to Slack • Delegate multi-file coding tickets to local Codex CLI environments with automatic task locking • Add one rule to AGENTS.md: pause autonomous execution and request manual take-over before modifying external infrastructure or security configs Show every change as a diff first. No edits until I say go" http://developers.openai.com/codex/dots save it, it'll come in handy
