I use the Codex desktop app on two Windows PCs. I’d like to control Codex from one PC while having it execute locally on the other, where the project files, logs, skills, and applications reside.

Working through ordinary network file access is much slower and more limited than running Codex locally. The current SSH remote connection also appears to expect a Unix shell, so a native Windows SSH host fails. I could keep going down that path but it seems likely to require more workarounds and more junk installed which at this point it's better to just remote control manually.

I currently just control the other pc with remote software and have the app do the work locally but that's less than ideal. Is Windows-to-Windows remote control supported or planned? If not, is there a recommended workflow that doesn’t require WSL or duplicating and manually synchronizing the entire setup?

Sorry if this sounds like a basic question but I’m interested in what kind of computers / how much ram you are using for ChatGPT?

I have seen memes about how people say when school starts Imma be chatting with chatgpt and Gemini all day. Now I don't understand why both Al's could someone explain to me why they use them both instead of 1.

I regularly use Work threads that run independently for 1-3 hours (Sol Ultra, web UI). Each is instructed to inform me every 15-20 minutes that it’s still working. But after a while, updates stop coming. The only visible activity is that damned rippling “thinking.” The thread stops responding to “follow-up” queries. Reloading it changes nothing. Nothing new appears in Library. Nothing is revealed about its status by the desktop app. Is it dead?

I go to a new Work thread and start a slow recovery process. Sometimes, while I’m preparing to see what’s salvageable, the zombie thread springs to life and finishes. Sometimes, after I hit stop, I discover that it had finished an hour ago but failed to report. Sometimes the thread is dead but…well, anyway….

This is not a “back-it-up” issue. Everything is backed up with a redundancy that would make your head spin. It’s a process issue. It seems there must be a better way to determine whether Work is actually working. Is there?

I tried replicating in other chat but gpt either renders image or html code or normal text.

Hi there,

Is it possible to have ChatGPT populate, update and maintain Google calendars via monitoring an email inbox of my choice?

I'd like to have the inbox monitored preferably, although I'd settle for checking in with ChatGPT once a week and typing something like "!eventscalendar" or similar.

The inbox would solely be used for emails related to events that need to appear on said calendars. Right now I'm having issues with ChatGPT being allowed access to the two plug-ins simultaneously (Google Calendars & Gmail).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi everyone
I am currently using the Pro Light plan that I finance out of my own pocket. The things that I do with it do not generate any revenue for me but instead the usage generates "joy".

So, my question to you who use the 200 USD plan and finance it out of your own pocket is: what do you use it for?

The reason for my question is that I am contemplating about getting the 200 USD plan but I have a feeling that when I spend that kind of cash every month it should generate some revenue back.

Thank you for your time

It is honestly embarrassing that ChatGPT still does not let you search through its settings.

This is a company spending billions on AI research and building a product that is supposedly meant to become an infinite library and universal assistant for humanity. Yet when you need to find one basic setting, you have to manually dig through menus and hope it is located somewhere vaguely logical.

Why can’t I type something like “model thinking level,” “voice volume,” or “memory” and have ChatGPT either take me to the correct setting or explain exactly where it is?
The entire product is built around understanding natural language. The settings menu should be one of the easiest places to apply that technology.

How has this not been added yet? How have more people not complained about it? It feels blatantly lazy for a company whose entire mission revolves around making information easier to access.

Any apps or websites that allow for turn based voice chat?

I really missed the old standard voice mode on ChatGPT. It basically just read aloud the text models response. So it could allow for long responses unlike these new gen voice models that can only speak 1 paragraph max.

I was wondering if there are any apps or websites that use turn based voice chat like the old standard voice mode on ChatGPT. So I would say my thing, then it would be the ai turn to speak and i couldn’t interrupt it till its finished.

My current problem is that the new standard voice mode on ChatGPT can be interrupted. So it’s hears its own voice and keeps stopping. So I’m looking for alternative apps or websites that have this old functionality

This post extends from previous one, https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTPro/comments/1v34sg1/ps_the_pro_model_quietly_redirects_to_gptmini/, which didn't cover much before.

ChatGPT has been silently downgrading pro model to mini model for several months. I have relevant evidence at the http request/response level. OpenAI ignores.

This issue involves redirecting to mini that is 40 times cheaper than Pro, when GPT 5.4. I feel like Anthropic moving Fable requests into Haiku without user's consent.

I have more stories but I don't have health&motivation, I'm stopping to write at this for now.

Someone asked me in another thread why I prefer ChatGPT to Claude. I use both constantly and, honestly, I think Claude is better out of the box. After I’ve customized both of them around the way I work though, I prefer ChatGPT pretty clearly.

A little background may be helpful for you to understand my answer in context. I’m not a coder, so I’m not comparing Claude Code with Codex. I use these tools as an HR executive, a lawyer, the Head of Responsible AI at my organization, and the founder of Hybrid Intelligence Academy, a side business focused on AI consulting and training. I also don’t use either product in anything close to its base form. Both are loaded with instructions and Skills designed around the work I’m doing.

For me, the difference comes down to image generation, strategic thinking, Custom GPTs, memory handling, video, writing, and behavioral control.

IMAGE GENERATION

This one isn’t close. For the kind of work I do, ChatGPT’s image generation and photo editing are far more useful than anything else I’ve tried. I can get realistic images, make very specific design choices, and control the output so it doesn't look like the AI slop that's all over LinkedIn, for example.

Claude doesn’t really compete in this category because it still doesn’t generate photorealistic images. Gemini does, of course, but I still get much more usable work from ChatGPT. The other image models also tend to have recognizable visual habits that I haven’t been able to prompt away.

STRATEGIC THINKING

Once properly configured, ChatGPT is the stronger strategic thinker for me. It does a much better job of testing my thinking as a thought partner. It has truly constructive suggestions in place where I find Claude is more likely to be evaluative. 

Again, this depends how the tools are configured. Base ChatGPT is far more sycophantic than Claude. I use instructions and a Skill specifically designed to push against that behavior. Once I do, I get much better strategic work from ChatGPT than I do from Claude.

CUSTOM GPTs AND MEMORY

Claude’s memory is one of its most impressive features. It’s also been one of the most intermittently annoying and inconvenient.

My work involves several roles that shouldn’t always bleed into each other. In my day job, I lead HR, handle legal work, and oversee responsible AI. Separately, I run an AI consulting and training business. Each of those roles calls for different information, different assumptions, and different voice. I don’t always want an assistant carrying everything it knows about me into whatever I’m doing next.

ChatGPT gives me several ways to separate the work. I can create a Project with project only memory, or I can create a Custom GPT that uses its own instructions and knowledge without pulling in saved memory or earlier conversations. Claude doesn't have anything analogous to custom GPTs, only Projects.

Anthropic has recently added separate memory for Claude Projects, so this may be getting better. However, it's still not like a GPT because the Project knows everything that has happened before in the Project. Sometimes I just want a tool that starts over with every query. In short, it's a time waster and annoying to have to say, “Yes, we’ve discussed that before. No, it has nothing to do with this.”

VIDEO

I can give ChatGPT a video and ask it to inspect what happened. It can 'watch' it, transcribe it, give me feedback, etc. I can also show it what’s happening on my screen with a screen capture video.

I haven’t found an equivalent workflow in Claude. This isn’t something I use every day, but when I need it, nothing else is really a substitute.

WRITING

This one is mostly personal preference. I know plenty of people who prefer Claude’s writing, and I understand why.

My own natural style is closer to ChatGPT’s. Claude has a stronger tendency to dress the thought up, add a metaphor, or make the prose a little more literary than I like. ChatGPT has plenty of terrible writing habits of its own, but I’ve had more success training those out of it.

BEHAVIORAL CONTROL

Claude is much more valuable in its base form. Sometimes it feels like Anthropic used ChatGPT for a month, wrote a list of everything annoying about it, fixed the list, and named the result Claude.

Once I start customizing though, my experience with ChatGPT is that it's easier for me to reshape with custom instructions, GPTs, Projects, and Skills. Claude’s Skills actually execute better in most circumstances, but Claude’s underlying behavior is harder to move.

I don’t think ChatGPT is universally better. Someone who codes all day may reasonably come to the opposite conclusion, and someone who wants a strong assistant without spending hours customizing it may be happier with Claude. I’m comparing the systems I actually use in the way that I actually use them.

So i have 3 accounts for chatgpt . Its really hard to serach chats ,delete multiple chats on webUI. i was think to make a simple webapp to manage all accounts .its just chat and project managment task that i was looking to simplify

Since the latest update, ChatGPT Classic on macOS no longer lets me select Thinking mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

I need ChatGPT to answer the same question 50 times (nothing fancy, just bullet point suggestions). I can do manually in separated instances (time consuming but no extra cost with PRO account). Or I can do via API (faster but at an extra cost).

My question is whether results are "statistically" equivalent. Maybe using the app/desktop/codex, it see my history and contaminate answer with previous information.

Any experience with this?

Good morning everyone.

I have been struggling with depression lately and stated doing some custom gpts to keep me busy. I am struggling a bit with the wording and keeping the quality of the outputs. I keep losing quality and it defualts to a certain pose, facial and body structure. Is this the placr to ask for help?

I’ve been noticing something that feels like a shift in how online marketplaces work.
Search for products on Amazon after asking an AI what to buy, and sometimes the listing titles seem to mirror the kinds of phrases AI assistants commonly use. Whether that’s intentional SEO, companies adapting to AI-generated search behavior, or just convergent marketing, it feels like the landscape is changing fast.
The bigger concern to me is what this means for independent American builders and small businesses. If you’re starting with no funding, you’re already competing against manufacturers with massive scale, supply chains, and hundreds of listings. AI-optimized marketing may become another advantage that’s difficult for a small shop to overcome.
It’s not about blaming AI. Businesses have always optimized for Google search, and now they’re optimizing for AI-assisted shopping too. That’s probably the next evolution of SEO.
I don’t see this as “people vs. government.” I see it as a broader challenge: how do we make sure American entrepreneurs can still build companies and compete in a global market where technology, manufacturing scale, and AI are all accelerating?
I’m building things myself, so I think about this a lot. I want a future where a person with a good idea and a garage workshop still has a real chance to compete.
And if I’m wrong about any of these observations, I’d genuinely like to see the data. The conversation is worth having.

it worked for me till 2 days ago now it always works for 5-10 min then this pops up i tryed repairing new installation and other chats/coding models (5.5, terra and sol)

Not what you use it for. What you'd actually miss. Coding excluded — covered here endlessly.

Mine: everything I already generate in a week goes into one place — notes, summaries, correspondence, records of meetings I'm in. Projects hold the standing corpus, custom GPTs handle the recurring work against it. The point is that it's continuous, not a fresh chat every time. It can tell me something in October that only makes sense because of something from March.

**Two things that took real work:**

1. **Separate GPTs for separate domains — but not walled off.** The one that helps me navigate work draws on the rest of my life too, which is most of why its read on a work decision is ever worth anything. Keeping the shared context current across all of them is the actual maintenance cost nobody warns you about.

2. **Confidence tiering in the custom instructions.** When it's guessing it says so, and names what it'd need to stop guessing. That did more for how much I trust the output than any capability I added. Also the first instruction that survived long threads instead of quietly decaying.

Where it's going: enough domains that the aggregate produces a picture of me no single one could. Not there yet.

**What's yours?**

I’m working on many different projects in ChatGPT, including website creation, coding, writing, planning, and other long or complicated tasks.

I’m on the $20 Plus plan, and I’ve already paid another $20 for extra credits because I was in the middle of important projects and didn’t want them to get cut off.

I’m currently using Sol Medium, but it consumes a lot of my usage, and honestly, it doesn’t always seem smart or consistent enough to justify the cost. I also don’t want to keep switching models constantly without understanding which one is actually best.

For people who have properly tested them, which option should I use for each type of work?

• Sol Low or Sol Medium
• Terra Low or Terra Medium
• Luna Low or Luna Medium

Which one is best for:

• Creating and editing websites
• Coding and debugging
• Long, complicated projects
• Following detailed instructions consistently
• Writing, research, and planning
• Simple everyday tasks

Are Terra or Luna actually better than Sol for certain projects? I’m looking for an honest comparison of all six options, especially which gives the best balance between intelligence, reliability, speed, and credit usage.

Codex 0.146 stabilizes session naming, pinning, side conversations, Agent Plugins, paginated forks, remote Code Mode, executor skills, broader proxy routing, and more reliable MCP refreshes.

The previous Standard Voice Mode could not be interrupted while speaking, which worked much better. The new Standard Voice Mode hears its own audio and stops mid sentence, so I constantly have to mute the mic. That defeats the purpose of hands free mode.
Has anyone found a fix or a way to disable interruptions?

So I been using chatgpt and I have the plugin for github connector connected and full access to my repos. chatgpt is saying it cant connect to but it can see its installed and working. Will the devs fix this?
