01 / CODEX ON WINDOWS TODAY

It runs natively.
No WSL needed.

What OpenAI ships for Windows, as of October 2026.

Codex no longer needs WSL on Windows. OpenAI's CLI runs in PowerShell, and the commands it runs go through a Windows sandbox that keeps the agent inside your working folder and off the network unless you approve. OpenAI recommends Windows 11 and supports Windows 10 version 1809 or later on a best-effort basis.

The CLI installs with one line in PowerShell:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"

OpenAI also ships a desktop app for Windows, where you switch between ChatGPT and Codex, and a VS Code extension. Codex is included in ChatGPT Plus at 20 US dollars a month and in the higher plans, or it can run on an API key.

If you only use Codex, on one project at a time, OpenAI's own app may be all you need. AigoPilot is for the moment that stops being true.

02 / WHAT AIGOPILOT ADDS

Codex next to
everything else.

Your Codex sessions in the same window as Claude Code and Grok, across every project.

Several agents, one window

Run multiple Claude Code and Codex sessions at once, with Grok too, and see which one is working, finished or waiting for you.

Told when one needs you

A Windows notification when a session finishes, stops midway, or waits for your answer or permission, chosen per project.

Answer from one place

Reply and approve the next step without opening each project's terminal. The sessions you start elsewhere show up too.

The official Codex

AigoPilot starts OpenAI's own Codex CLI with your ChatGPT plan or API key. It never reads or reuses your sign-in.

Your data stays home

Sessions, email and sales data are kept on your PC. No AigoPilot cloud account is needed to see your work.

Then the business

The same project card holds social posts, email campaigns, ads, leads, Stripe sales and a support inbox for what you built.

03 / CODEX AND CLAUDE CODE

Use both.
Check one with the other.

Codex and Claude Code make different mistakes, which is why many people keep both: one builds, the other reviews. Codex reads AGENTS.md, and Claude Code can read it too, so one file of project rules serves both agents.

The cost of running two agents is attention: two terminals to watch, and a session waiting for your permission looks exactly like one still working. AigoPilot puts both in one window and tells you which one needs you.

QUESTIONS

Before you
decide.

Does Codex run natively on Windows?

Yes. OpenAI's Codex CLI runs in PowerShell and runs its commands inside a Windows sandbox. OpenAI recommends Windows 11 and supports Windows 10 version 1809 or later on a best-effort basis.

Do I need WSL for Codex?

No. WSL 2 is optional. Codex runs natively on Windows with its own sandbox.

Does AigoPilot replace the ChatGPT desktop app?

No. If you only use Codex, OpenAI's own app may be all you need. AigoPilot is for running Codex next to Claude Code and Grok across many projects, and for the business work that comes after the build.

Which account does Codex use inside AigoPilot?

Your own. AigoPilot starts OpenAI's official Codex CLI, which uses your ChatGPT plan or API key. AigoPilot never reads or reuses that sign-in.
