OpenAI adds PR chat and inline edits to Codex
New tools let devs review pull requests and tweak AI code without leaving the interface
@OpenAIDevsTL;DR:
- Codex now supports context-aware chat for pull requests
- Inline editing lets you inspect, change, accept or reject AI patches
- Targets the messy part of code review where AI might actually save time
OpenAI updates Codex with PR chat and inline code edits
OpenAI just added PR Chat and inline editing to Codex. You can now review pull requests, ask questions about specific changes, and edit the AI's suggestions without jumping between tools.
PR Chat keeps the pull request context in the conversation. Inline editing shows proposed patches so you can look them over, tweak them, accept or reject on the spot.
Code review is still a slog in most big teams. This tries to cut some of that friction.
What it actually changes
Codex moves closer to handling the full loop instead of just spitting out code. Review and iteration are where context and control matter most, so this aims straight at the workflows that slow down enterprise teams. It also steps into the same space as Copilot, Cursor and Sourcegraph.
Letting people accept, reject or edit patches keeps a human in charge. That's the part enterprise teams keep asking for. If it holds up, more dev time might shift away from mechanical checks toward actual architecture decisions.
