OpenAI may be testing Windows Recall-like feature for its Codex coding agent: What it means for users

ChatGPT maker OpenAI is reportedly testing a new feature for its AI coding agency, Codex. This feature, called “Chronicle,” has drawn comparisons to Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature. OpenAI’s new opt-in research preview allows Codex to capture screenshots of a user’s screen and use that visual information to build contextual “memories,” helping the AI agent understand ongoing work without requiring users to repeatedly explain what they are doing. The feature is currently available only in the Codex app for macOS and has already raised privacy and cybersecurity concerns.
