OpenAI Expands Codex With Role-Specific Plugins: 62 Apps, 110 Skills

OpenAI announced on June 2 a major expansion of plugins for its coding assistant "Codex," introducing "role-specific plugins" that turn Codex into a specialist for a specific role—such as sales or data analytics—with a single install. No coding is required, and the plugins span 62 popular apps and 110 skills to support work.

According to the official announcement page, the update extends existing single-tool plugins into six role-specific plugins that pre-bundle apps, skills, and instructions for each role. The six roles covered are data analytics, creative production, sales, product design, public equity investing, and investment banking, bundling a total of 62 apps and 110 skills. Data analytics integrations include Snowflake, Databricks Genie, Hex, and Tableau; creative production includes Figma, Canva, Shutterstock, Picsart, and Fal; sales includes Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Outreach, and Clay. Installation is done from a plugin directory within the Codex app, and the feature is in preview/rollout for Business and Enterprise workspaces, with regional availability expanding over time. The same announcement also introduced "Sites," which generates and shares interactive hosted web apps and dashboards, and "Annotations," which lets users select generated output and issue inline edit instructions.
