Claude + Codex Is INSANE!

Añadido: 2026-05-20

[00:00:00]Claude plus Codex is insane. Right now, and the gap between these two AI tools and everything else just got way bigger.

[00:00:06]I'll show you why in a second. But first, here's the thing most people are missing. This isn't a normal update.

[00:00:11]Claude and Codex are no longer just coding helpers. They're full agent NC workspaces. They run tasks. They open sessions. They work across your apps.

[00:00:19]They touch your whole repo. They keep going when you close the laptop. A year ago, these tools could write a function for you. Maybe finish a line of code.

[00:00:26]Now they ship features while you sleep.

[00:00:27]And both companies, Anthropic and OpenAI, are racing toward the exact same future.

[00:00:32]They work like teammates. Not autocomplete. Not chatbots. Teammates that handle real work end to end. Let me show you what's actually going on.

[00:00:39]Because once you see this, you'll get why so many business owners are quietly moving fast right now. Start with Claude. Anthropic just keeps shipping.

[00:00:46]Claude code is the command line tool.

[00:00:48]Lives in your terminal. You give it a task, it goes and does the task. It plans, runs commands, edits files, it tests its work, it fixes its own mistakes, and it comes back and tells you what it did. That alone is wild.

[00:01:00]They didn't stop there. They added something called background tasks. You hand Claude a job. You close the window.

[00:01:06]Claude keeps working. You come back later and the job is done. Think about that for 1 second. Your AI is working when you're not. They added webhooks.

[00:01:13]And Claude can be triggered by other tools. New email comes in. New lead fills out a form. A new file lands in your drive. Claude kicks off. It does the work. Reports back. They added multi-agent setups. And Claude is the boss. The other Claudes are the workers.

[00:01:27]The boss splits the job. The workers run in parallel. And the boss puts it all together. They added stronger memory.

[00:01:33]Claude can now hold on to project notes, your style, your rules, your past work.

[00:01:37]You stop repeating yourself every single time. Now flip over to Codex. But I just pushed Codex into the same lane. Codex used to be a model. Codex is a workspace. You get the CLI. You get the IDE plugin. You get the cloud version.

[00:01:49]Get the web app. All of them share the same brain. All of them share the same tasks. All of them can hand work back and forth. Codex can spin up its own sandbox. It writes code, runs the code, reads the errors, fixes the errors, does this in a loop until the job is done.

[00:02:04]We'll pause here. If you're watching this and thinking, "Okay, I want to actually use Claude and Codex in my business, not just hear about them."

[00:02:10]That's exactly what we do inside the AI Profit Boardroom. We run four live coaching calls every week where we walk through real Claude and Codex setups step-by-step. We've got daily tutorials showing you how to build agent workflows with these exact tools. A 30-day roadmap built around Claude Code and Codex so you know what to do on day one, day two, day three all the way through. And 2,800 business owners inside, many of them already running Claude and Codex for client work, content, lead gen, and support. Link in the description or go to AI Profit Boardroom. Build with us.

[00:02:40]Okay, back to it. Codex can also run long tasks in the cloud. You start a job on your phone, you walk away. The job keeps running on OpenAI's servers. You get a ping when it's ready. Codex now plugs into GitHub directly. It opens pull requests, writes the description, writes the tests, it explains the change. Real reviewer just reads it and approves. Look at the pattern. Tools are doing the same five things. One, they run tasks, not chats.

[00:03:04]They work in the background. Three, they talk to your other apps. Four, they split work across many agents. Five, they remember your project. That's a real shift and it's happening fast. Now, here's the part that matters for you even if you've never touched code. This same pattern is coming to every kind of work, not just code, support, content, search, lead gen, and onboarding, bookkeeping, all of it.

[00:03:26]Because the engine under the hood is the same. An agent that can plan, act, check its own work, and run while you're gone.

[00:03:31]Code was just the first place it worked well. The rest is right behind. Quick story to make this real. Tropic shared that inside their own company, teams are using Claude Code to ship features that used to take a full sprint and they're doing it in an afternoon. People, product, just way more output. OpenAI shared similar numbers from teams using Codex in the cloud. Jobs Jobs took days done in hours. Jobs that took hours, done in minutes. Put those numbers again in your head.

[00:03:56]Hours to minutes, that's the curve. And here's a simple example for your own life.

[00:04:00]Small business and you want a fresh landing page for the AI profit boardroom. Old way, you'd hire someone, wait 2 weeks, pay a chunk, get one draft, ask for edits, wait again. New way, you tell Claude Code or Codex what you want. It builds the page, writes the copy, it picks the layout, it connects the form, it tests the buttons. You wake up, the page is live. That's one tiny example. The same flow works for a booking system, a capture funnel, weekly report, client onboarding email sequence, a simple internal tool to track your members. Built by an agent while you sleep. Let's go deeper on what's new with Claude, because the details matter. Claude Code now has something called sub-agents. A sub-agent is a smaller Claude that's good at one job. You can have a research sub-agent, writer sub-agent, tester sub-agent, viewer sub-agent. You set them up once, then your main Claude calls them when it needs them. Like a small team inside your terminal. Why does that matter?

[00:04:49]Because one big AI trying to do every job at once gets sloppy. Many small AIs, each with one job, stay sharp. Reason real companies have roles instead of one person doing everything. Claude also got better at long-running work. Claude would lose the plot after a while, would forget what it was doing. Now it can hold a job for hours, writes notes for itself, checks its own notes, picks up where it left off. Tropic also opened up more control. You can tell Claude what tools to use, what folders to touch, what it's not allowed to do. So you can hand it real work without worrying it will break something it shouldn't. And the webhook part is huge for business owners. Here's a simple use case. A new person joins your email list. The webhook fires, Claude reads their info.

[00:05:27]Claude writes a personal welcome email.

[00:05:29]Claude adds them to the right tag in your tool. Claude sends a Slack ping to your team. All of that hands-off every single time. Claude Code. Claude Code got the big workspace upgrade. The CLI, the IDE plugin, the cloud, the web. They will share state now. So you start a job in your editor, switch to your phone, check the cloud version, and it's the same job. Context, same memory. You don't restart. Codex in the cloud is the wild one. You give it a task. It spins up its own machine, writes the code, runs the tests, it pushes a pull request, you get a notification, you review, you merge, you're done. OpenAI also pushed Codex into longer planning.

[00:06:03]It can break a big job into a list of smaller jobs. Then it works through the list. If one step fails, it doesn't crash. It tries another way. Codex now handles real repos, not just small files, big projects, many folders, many languages. Reads the structure first, then it plans, then it edits, then it tests. So, both Claude and Codex are now doing what only senior engineers used to do, plan the code base, make a change, test it, open a PR, explain the change, fix the review notes. Playbook, just with no coffee breaks. Here's the bigger picture. This is the part most people miss. The race between Claude and Codex isn't about who codes better, it's about who builds the better agent platform.

[00:06:42]Whoever wins that race owns a huge chunk of the next 10 years of work. Anthropic is betting on safe, focused, controllable agents. It's the careful one. It asks before it does risky stuff, explains its plan, it checks in. OpenAI is betting on scale and speed. Codex is the fast one, many models, many surfaces. But first, go. Both bets might win. They're aiming at different kinds of customers. The direction is the same, which is do the work, not chat, work. And here's a real number to ground this. GitHub said over 90% of new developers on the platform now use AI coding tools in some form.

[00:07:15]Anthropic said Claude code usage inside teams keeps doubling. OpenAI said Codex is one of the fastest growing products they've ever shipped. That's a market shift in real time. Now look, get it.

[00:07:24]This is a lot. It's moving fast.

[00:07:26]Honestly, it can feel scary. Am I about to get left behind? Am I doing this right? Is there even time to learn all this? Hear that? A lot of people in our community felt the same way 3 months ago. They're shipping work in days that used to take weeks. They just needed someone to walk them through the first step. Here's the close. If you want a real shortcut, come build with us inside the AI Profit Boardroom. We're going deep on Claude Code and Codex right now.
