SAN FRANCISCO — April 21, 2026 — OpenAI today announced the launch of Codex Labs, a new initiative designed to bring AI expertise directly into organizations to accelerate the deployment of its Codex platform. The move comes as the company reports a massive surge in users, with its weekly developer base growing from 3 million to more than 4 million in just the first two weeks of April.
Direct Expert Support for Enterprises
The centerpiece of the announcement, Codex Labs, aims to help organizations move from early experimentation to repeatable, production-ready deployment. Through hands-on workshops and dedicated working sessions, OpenAI experts will work alongside enterprise teams to integrate Codex into existing workflows and solve high-value business problems.
Expanding Beyond the Codebase
While initially focused on software development, Codex is increasingly being utilized across entire organizations. Beyond writing and reviewing code, teams are now using the platform for browser-based tasks, image generation, and synthesizing information from multiple tools to create plans, briefs, and checklists.
Major industry leaders are already reporting significant gains:
- Virgin Atlantic is using the tool to reduce technical debt and increase team velocity.
- Cisco leverages Codex to reason across large, interconnected repositories.
- Notion and Ramp are utilizing the platform to accelerate feature building and code reviews, respectively.
- Rakuten has integrated Codex into its incident response protocols.
A Global Network of Partners
To meet the overwhelming demand, OpenAI is scaling its impact through a network of leading Global Systems Integrators (GSIs). This partner roster includes industry giants such as Accenture, Capgemini, CGI, Cognizant, Infosys, PwC, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
These firms will play a critical role in modernizing software delivery for large enterprises, helping them transition from pilot projects to full-scale production. These partners are also adopting Codex internally to refine the repeatable strategies they will bring to their clients.
Looking Ahead
OpenAI signaled that this is only the beginning of a broader shift in how business is conducted. “Codex is already becoming part of how enterprises build software and run production workloads,” the company stated, expressing a commitment to scaling these capabilities globally.
Organizations interested in participating in a Codex Lab are encouraged to contact their OpenAI representatives or apply through the company’s official channels.
