🧠 Codex OS: I tried turning AI into a local dev “operating system”

I’ve been experimenting with a simple idea: What if AI wasn’t just a tool you call… but something that behaves more like an operating system for development? That’s how Codex OS started. • GitHub: https://github.com/rotsl/codex-os • Webpage: https://rotsl.github.io/codex-os/ • npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/codexospackage This isn’t another wrapper around an API.

I’m still figuring it out. But it’s already useful in ways I didn’t expect. What Codex OS actually is At its core, Codex OS is a local-first system that lets you: • run AI-driven tasks • structure workflows • interact with code in a more stateful way The key idea: treat AI like a runtime environment, not a function call. That changes how you design everything. Instead of: const result = await ai.generate ( prompt ) You’re closer to: await c
