It looks like Codex on a Mac can now record repeatable processes and repeat it. Is there anything you would use Codex for vs Claude for something like this?

Kate's take, in a sentence or two

Kate still pays for ChatGPT mainly for image generation, which she thinks it does incredibly well, but otherwise sticks with Claude for everything else—not because Codex is necessarily better or worse, but because she prefers being "all in" on one tool for simplicity's sake. Her preference for Anthropic over OpenAI is also value-driven, stemming from discomfort with Sam Altman and OpenAI's associations (like the Pentagon news) compared to Anthropic, which hasn't given her similar red flags. She also mentions she won't be renewing Poppy since Claude and ChatGPT now cover what she needed it for, and reassures that it's fine to drop it.
