Key Points

OpenAI is adding a new “Chronicle” capability to Codex that tracks what users have on their screens so it can remember their ongoing context.
This screen-aware memory is intended to help Codex pick up future tasks more smoothly by recalling what the user was working on.
The feature also raises security and privacy concerns by expanding how much user screen activity may be observed and retained.
The announcement highlights a trade-off between improved AI continuity (context retention) and the need for stronger risk mitigation around surveillance-like behavior.

OpenAI is giving Codex a memory of what's on screen. The new Chronicle feature tracks what users are working on and remembers it for future tasks, but it also amplifies familiar security risks.
