Product vision and current choices

Seshan explains the long-term goal and the modes shown in this clip.

The host asks OpenAI product lead Tara Seshan why the app presents choices between ChatGPT and Codex and between chat and work modes. The clip describes a product vision and interface at the time of recording, not necessarily the current interface.

Seshan says the long-term goal is for users to describe a task without having to choose among models and technical interfaces. In her example, the system would select the appropriate model and working environment for building an app.

For the near-term interface she describes Codex as the more development-oriented experience, and ChatGPT as another way to access the underlying capabilities. She says chat mode supports conversation and search, while work mode uses Codex underneath for tasks such as building a financial model.
