- What they did
- The guide switches Codex from coding mode to everyday work mode and points it at a local project folder. In the demos, it read two transcripts and wrote a Word summary. It built an Excel revenue model from a one-line prompt. It turned an existing document into four carousel images, first as HTML slides, then as image files after the user asked for image generation.
- How it went
- The Word summary took about five minutes. The Excel model took 3 minutes 46 seconds, and a follow-up prompt fixed an initial import formatting problem. The carousel images took about five minutes.
- Worth knowing
- Codex burns credits faster than normal chat, so check the Usage tab. The guide suggests medium reasoning for document work and saving high reasoning for code generation.
Try it yourself with Codex
Read the transcript at [file path] and produce a Word document with a summary, key decisions, and action items by owner. Then build an Excel model from [assumptions or data file] with [revenue drivers] and a short assumptions tab. Stop when both files are saved in [output folder], and tell me anything you had to guess.
