Description
🌴 I'm in LA and holding a Creator Magic meetup 👉 https://mrc.fm/lameet
In this video I put OpenAI Codex Desktop to the test by letting it take full control of my Mac using GPT-5.5 with computer use. I gave it three creative challenges: clean up an audio recording in Adobe Audition like a pro engineer, design a YouTube thumbnail concept in Photoshop, and generate an AI video in Adobe Firefly. All hands-free while I worked on other things. The results were genuinely surprising (and a little wild). If you've been curious about where AI agents and computer use are heading for content creators, this one's for you. Let me know in the comments what you'd automate on your Mac!
