Andrew from the Codex engineering team shows how he uses automations in the Codex app to take care of the least fun parts of his job.
In this walkthrough, you'll see automations that: - Summarize yesterday's commits into a morning pulse - Upskill Codex overnight by fixing skills and scripts - Update personalization and AGENTS.md to reduce misunderstandings - Triage top Sentry issues with memory across runs - Keep PRs green by fixing CI failures and resolving merge conflicts
These automations run on a schedule, carry context forward, and help engineers stay focused on the work that needs their attention the most.
