via “sidebar panel ui with repositionable layout”

Codex is a coding agent that works with you everywhere you code — included in ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans.

Unique: Implements a repositionable sidebar panel that maintains visibility of the assistant throughout the coding session, allowing users to customize layout without modal dialogs or context-switching

vs others: More integrated than a separate window or web interface because it stays within the IDE, but less flexible than fully dockable panels because repositioning is manual and not persisted
