The Strange Missing Link Between Codex and ChatGPT

One surprisingly puzzling gap in the current AI workflow: Codex can connect to tools like Google Drive, Gmail, Slack, the browser, and numerous other services, but it cannot access ChatGPT.

For many of us, ChatGPT has become a research workspace. It contains notes, explorations, decisions, drafts, and context that would be extremely useful inside Codex projects.

I would love for Codex to have a way to search and reference my ChatGPT history, so it can synthesize prior research and bring that context directly into the work I am doing.

Maybe this is just a short-term gap, since Codex and ChatGPT may eventually converge into one experience. But until then, it feels like a very strange missing link.
