ChatGPT is OpenAI's consumer and Pro assistant. Strong for ideation, writing, and light coding. Codex / o-series models power deeper coding workflows in the ChatGPT and API surfaces.
Our take
- Coding agents: Codex / advanced coding modes and canvas keep ChatGPT relevant for agent-ish coding outside a dedicated IDE.
- UI generators: Canvas and coding models can draft UI quickly. Best as a sidekick, not the primary generator.
- Indie games: Quick ideation for mechanics, names, and light scripting. Ubiquitous starting point for jam brainstorms.
