OpenAI Codex for CS, IT, MMA, and Engineering

Abstract

This talk shows how to use the OpenAI Codex CLI to generate CAD models, electrical schematics, mechanical designs, and software code from plain language prompts. It walks through installing the tool, adding plugins, and applying it to engineering disciplines like civil, electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering. The session also covers integrating Codex with multimedia arts and computer science workflows.
