[00:00] Christopher David: Open Agents mobile app. Are you ready for a magic trick?

[00:02] Christopher David: I bet you've never seen an app update itself while in your hand. Watch this.

[00:09] Christopher David: Yeah, the sidebar here,

[00:10] Christopher David: it's a little too light.

[00:12] Christopher David: Let's just make it black,

[00:13] Christopher David: okay? Let's see what that looks like. So I'm going to go to my new thread,

[00:17] Christopher David: try coder, ask codex.

[00:21] Christopher David: Make the drawer background color black and push the update.

[00:28] Christopher David: Sent. Okay,

[00:29] Christopher David: so this is sending to my desktop,

[00:34] Christopher David: Codex Bridge,

[00:35] Christopher David: which you can see the logs for in the background.

[00:37] Christopher David: So you can like sit and stare at the full logs if you want to, but this is what the phone shows.

[00:46] Christopher David: So one cool setup about this, one cool thing about this is that it does not call out to any external central servers except for OpenAI. Obviously we're using Codex, but you'll be able to swap in whatever coding agent you want soon.

[01:01] Christopher David: My own personal productivity,

[01:04] Christopher David: I've had probably the single largest one day increase in my productivity since like Sonnet 4 came out.

[01:11] Christopher David: Uh, just being able to walk around my house talking to this and then having it, you know, manage my codecs remotely. Let's see how long it takes. Draw our background black, blah blah blah. So one avenue for improvement can be um

[01:27] Christopher David: having this kind of like learn the types of things that you do.

[01:31] Christopher David: Maybe we give it little shortcuts to do. Um definitely wanna use codecs.

[01:38] Christopher David: standard procedures and have that be uh something that we build on but um usually i'll have like five of these things going at once and the overall velocity is just like absolutely unparalleled i've been making mobile apps oh there we go wait there we go okay we have a black sidebar

[01:58] Christopher David: That just was an up over the air update.

[02:01] Christopher David: React Native Expo has a way of updating the app over the air and why would I explain it? You just pretend that it's magic.

[02:08] Christopher David: Okay, we're putting this out on test flight.

[02:10] Christopher David: Today it'll be live in a day or two and hey,

[02:14] Christopher David: you can try this yourself if you want.

[02:16] Christopher David: See you soon.
