Codex with GPT-5.4 Is Actually Good Now

Description

Codex paired with GPT-5.4 is a really good agent. The new Codex app is better than the original Codex CLI and Codex Extension, it adds skills, automations, MCP toggles, and is now fully supported by GSD, making it a real competitor, if not collaborator to Claude Code. In this video, I cover the Codex CLI vs the new Codex app, how to add MCP servers, skills, and why GSD project portability between Claude Code and Codex is a huge unlock. If you've been sleeping on Codex, it's worth another look. ⌚ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - GPT 5.4 built this in 20 minutes 00:18 - Why Codex deserves credit right now 01:00 - Codex app vs Codex CLI 01:30 - ChatGPT subscription value + 2x rate limits 01:50 - CLI limitations (MCP, slash commands) 02:30 - Codex app: automations, skills, MCP toggles 03:00 - Installing Bright Data MCP in Codex 03:55 - Adding GSD to Codex 04:45 - Building a Stream Deck plugin 07:00 - Why this matters (context + tools + YOLO mode) 07:30 - Final thoughts: Codex got a lot better 🔗 RELEVANT LINKS: Bright Data MCP → https://tinyurl.com/jeredwebmcp Codex App → https://openai.com/codex/ GSD Framework → https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done My GSD Video → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2Btykxx8Fs Book a call with me → https://yedatechs.com/#discovery-call Sponsorship inquiries → hi@yedatechs.com #Codex #GPT54 #OpenAI #ClaudeCode #MCP #GSD #AICoding #CodexApp
