Whenever I have a bug or something to solve from Jira, I give Claude an explanation and the Jira ticket and it ultimately solves the problem and can commit my code to github. It's a powerful tool and asks me clarifying questions when they are needed to best suit the needs of my requirements

Codex is great for coding, but also really good for knowledge work. When used properly, Codex can take over the execution of actions correctly and precisely across multiple software products, enabling more focus and less context switching.

I am using OpenAI Codex to help me to write complete automation framework. Like previously I am manually written the test scripts but after using it it enhance me the speed of writing scripts as well as with more efficient manner and just give some images and videos to help to understand the AI agents what are you want ? So its convert into your accordingly demand coding

It out shines them, Anthropic Claude is a close second since it does a very similar job. I mostly use that in Visual Studio Code. Github Copilot uses Claude but I feel like the terminal and/or Anthropic Claude is superior to this. I am a GUI guy but the terminal has features that can't be replicated anywhere else.

OpenAI Codex is more easy to implement in our source code. OpenAI Codex with chatgpt are more useful combination to search anything and debug the things if something are failure.
