Non-devs now make up 20% of Codex users and are growing 3x faster
codex now hosts 5m weekly users, with non-developers growing 3x faster than coders as openai launches six role-specific plugins to target enterprise workflows.
openai revealed that codex has hit 5 million weekly active users, fueled by a surge in non-technical adoption that is growing three times faster than the developer user base. responding to this trend, openai introduced six new role-specific plugins tailored for tasks like data analytics, creative production, and investment banking, integrating with 62 external apps including snowflake, salesforce, and figma. the expansion moves codex beyond pure code generation into a broader enterprise workflow tool, allowing teams to execute business processes without writing code. additional plugins for corporate finance, legal, and strategy consulting are slated for release soon.
