About this lesson

๐ŸŒด I'm in LA and holding a Creator Magic meetup ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://mrc.fm/lameet In this video I put OpenAI Codex Desktop to the test by letting it take full control of my Mac using GPT-5.5 with computer use. I gave it three creative challenges: clean up an audio recording in Adobe Audition like a pro engineer, design a YouTube thumbnail concept in Photoshop, and generate an AI video in Adobe Firefly. All hands-free while I worked on other things. The results were genuinely surprising (and a little wild). If you've been curious about where AI agents and computer use are heading for content creators, this one's for you. Let me know in the comments what you'd automate on your Mac! 0:00 Intro & LA Meetup 0:19 Setting Up OpenAI Codex on Mac 1:16 Test 1: AI Audio Cleanup in Adobe Audition 4:20 Audio Comparison: Original vs Cleaned 5:09 Test 2: AI Thumbnail Design in Photoshop 6:57 Test 3: AI Video Generation with Adobe Firefly 9:45 AI Eagle Video Result 10:06 Final Verdict & Conclusion 10:36 Outro 10:51 Bonus: Full LA Meetup Clip
