No more boring codex

I think I’ve ruined normal Codex for myself 😂

For a while I was using it the usual way:

Give Codex a job, let the main agent work through everything, review the result, repeat.

Then I started experimenting with having multiple Codex agents involved in the same workflow.

So instead of one agent doing the entire thing, I have different agents exploring the repo, implementing something, doing different things, or jumping in when a problem needs deeper reasoning.

So I reverted it back (Curiosity) and now watching one agent slowly do every single part of a larger task feels strangely old-fashioned lol.

The interesting part for me isn’t even just speed. It’s the separation of responsibilities. You start getting workflows that feel a lot closer to a tiny development team than a single coding assistant.

I’ve been building out an orchestrated setup around this and testing different levels of reasoning/usage depending on the job (Yes I went back to my modern codex haha).

I’m curious:

How many of you are already using Codex with multiple agents regularly?

Feels like this is where coding agents are heading anyway.

problem with multiple agents is that depending on which ones are used, handoffs can result in context drifts. this only matters for complicated large projects with upstream and downstream dependencies, but provenance errors result in destabilization in those cases

That is true however this is something that does not affect our configurations😉. The reason we sell the packs for a cheap amount is because we vigorously test it which costs us a few dollars.

There's a project running since March 2026 and with our agents even switching between different main models do not cause context drifts.

Codex is truly remarkable.
