Users can now start, manage, and approve AI tasks on their office PCs (Mac or Windows) directly from mobile apps, a feature previously limited to premium tiers.\n\nThe update targets busy professionals like construction CEOs, who spend time on site visits, travel, and meetings. By offloading paperwork—estimates, invoices, meeting notes, and receipt processing—onto AI agents running on their office PCs, users can approve drafts later. OpenAI highlights five use cases: drafting emails mid-trip, organizing photos by project, generating meeting summaries, searching past examples, and pre-processing expenses. The article emphasizes setting clear boundaries: AI handles drafting, searching, and categorization, while humans retain final approval for sending, signing, or payments.\n\nThe move aligns with broader industry shifts. Apple’s Safari 27 includes MCP server support for AI browser operations, Google’s Gemini Notebook integrates AI into Workspace, and Anthropic’s Claude now allows MCP connector submissions for paid users. OpenAI frames this as a structural change: executives’ PC time shifts from task execution to decision-making, turning travel and waiting time into productive head starts.","keyPoints":["Codex Remote now available on all ChatGPT plans—Free through Enterprise—after a September 2026 launch","Users control AI agents on office PCs via mobile apps for tasks like drafting emails or organizing photos","OpenAI advises keeping AI in 'drafting' mode, with humans approving final actions like sending or payments"],"whyItMatters":"This democratizes remote AI task management, letting professionals use idle time (travel, meetings) productively.
