Codex app vs ServerEngine

The Codex app runs OpenAI's agents. ServerEngine runs everyone's: Codex CLI on your ChatGPT subscription, Claude Code, OpenRouter and local models, side by side in one workspace.

Codex app

The Codex app: recent chats and projects in the sidebar, and a new chat asking what to build, with suggestions drawn from email, Slack and a calendar above the prompt box.
ServerEngine
The Agent Workspace in ServerEngine: four agent panels in a grid work on their own jobs at the same time - a landing page, generative art, an analytics dashboard and an ROI calculator - each keeping its own checklist, editing files with the new lines shown as green diffs and checking its own work in a headless browser, while the dashboard agent takes a follow-up asking it to make the styling easier to use.

With super speed enabled, it painted this picture in only 14 seconds. At normal speed it QA-tests the app’s new dark theme, clicking through every tab to prove it works.

Memories grow on their own or whenever you ask. Your preferences, corrections and setup carry into every conversation, mapped to their work folder and shared with whichever model you run.

Send a message from your phone. Your agents keep working while you enjoy some free time.

Two phones side by side. On the left, in a Slack thread, the agent is told to use the Cloudflare skill, deploys the landing page, then validates it live in a browser. On the right, in a Discord channel, it is asked to take a screenshot of the ServerEngine app and does it with Computer Use.

Everything you need to build, test, secure, and ship your product. Enable what you need, disable what you don't, and select which skills require your approval.
