OpenAI shares strategies for using Codex on long-running work

OpenAI has published guidance on “Codex-maxxing,” outlining practical techniques for using Codex as a persistent AI teammate that can manage complex, long-running projects and workflows.

OpenAI has released “Codex-maxxing for Long-Running Work,” a guide by Jason Liu that explores how organizations can use Codex beyond short coding sessions.

The paper highlights strategies for turning Codex into a persistent workspace that preserves context, manages complex workflows, and supports projects that unfold over days or weeks.

It emphasizes long-running tasks, asynchronous collaboration, structured context management, and milestone-based supervision rather than constant oversight. OpenAI says this approach reflects a broader shift toward AI teammates that can independently handle substantial portions of work while remaining reliable, reviewable, and aligned with user goals.
