OpenAI turns Codex prototypes into shareable software
How OpenAI uses ChatGPT Sites (live at DevDay!) | Kath Korevec (Product Lead)
Sites reframes AI-assisted coding as a path not just to working software, but to deployed tools people can personalize and share.
- 1Sites provides deployment infrastructure for Codex-built software, moving projects from local experiments into accessible tools.
- 2Connectors let Sites adapt software to personal data and services, including a custom Spotify player built for everyday use.
- 3The conversation pairs ambitious AI-assisted creation with practical boundaries around authorship, responsibility, and community participation.

Kath Korevec demonstrates a personalized Spotify player built with instructions and the Spotify connector, turning a familiar service into a custom tool.
The brief
Kath Korevec explains how OpenAI uses Sites to turn Codex-built projects into deployed tools, from keynote slides and incident management to personalized workplace software.
The central argument is infrastructural: Sites handles the last mile between locally built software and something accessible, hosted, connected to data, and ready to share.
A custom Spotify player shows the consumer side of the idea, using instructions and a connector to reshape a familiar service around one person’s needs.
The demos expand into shared 3D dungeon crawlers, generative worlds, and an AI drawing application, suggesting Sites could become a canvas for interactive software.
The episode closes on responsibility: Codex can accelerate research and drafting, but users still have to manage frustration, judgment, and personal authorship.
