What You Will Learn In This Free Codex Course
Codex is OpenAI's agentic coding app — think of it as a way to build websites, tools, apps, games and automations by describing what you want, with GPT-5.6 Sol doing the work. This free course takes a complete beginner through 99% of what Codex can do in about an hour, with real work automations, not just toy demos.
The Free Codex Course, Chapter By Chapter
Here's what the free course walks through:
- Install and first look — download Codex, the "super app" chat vs the build side, and GPT-5.6 Sol.
- Projects: local vs cloud — when to keep files on your machine and when to sandbox in the cloud.
- Tokens and usage — how to track usage and stay efficient with expensive frontier models.
- Plan mode vs action mode — plan first for better outputs, then build; plus forking conversations and access levels.
- Computer use — let Codex control your browser to do real tasks (like drafting and posting).
- Plugins and integrations — presentations, Gmail, and more, connected in a couple of clicks.
- Scheduled tasks and agent loops — automate daily jobs (draft your Gmail every morning) that run on a schedule.
- Emailing slide decks — generate a presentation and email it out automatically.
- Apps and videos — build a gamified habit-tracker app, and create animated promo videos with the open-source Remotion skill.
- Agent OS dashboard — tie Codex, Hermes and free APIs together into one mission-control system.
- A second brain with Obsidian — give Codex long-term memory and context across every tool.

Why Codex Is Worth Learning
With GPT-5.6 Sol, Codex can build genuinely impressive things — full websites, mobile-style apps, presentations, videos and multi-step automations — often first time, and it quality-controls its own work on a loop before handing it back. The main thing to manage is token usage, since frontier models are powerful but expensive; the course shows how to stay efficient, including routing Codex through free APIs with OmniRoute.

What model does Codex use?
The course uses OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol, the frontier model. You can also switch models and route Codex through free APIs with OmniRoute to save tokens.
Do scheduled Codex tasks run when my computer is off?
No — a scheduled Codex task only runs while the Codex app is open and your computer is on. For always-on jobs, run the agent in the cloud instead.
