OpenAI's coding agent that runs locally, written in Rust: reads and writes code and runs commands inside an OS-level sandbox. Sign in with a ChatGPT plan or use an API key.

OpenAI's open-source general-purpose speech recognition model. The whisper command transcribes many languages, translates foreign speech into English and writes subtitle files. Needs FFmpeg; faster with a GPU.

CLI and library for evaluating and red-teaming LLM apps: compare prompts and model outputs in bulk, scan for security vulnerabilities and plug into CI/CD, with evals running locally. Now part of OpenAI and still open source under MIT.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that makes Google Drive the single entry point to search, organize, share and export files, handing Docs, Sheets, Slides and comments to dedicated sub-skills for summaries, edits and new files. Authorize your Google account in Codex.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin that uses the local API of the Zotero desktop app to search your library, export BibTeX, insert citations into LaTeX or Markdown drafts, and import new references after you confirm. Requires Zotero desktop.

Notion's plugin in OpenAI's official Codex marketplace: uses the Notion connector and hosted MCP to search and update workspace pages, with skills for spec-to-implementation plans, research write-ups, meeting prep and knowledge capture. Codex only; needs Notion authorization.

Creates, edits and validates reproducible Python and SQL Jupyter notebooks: organizes cells as reports or tutorials, checks conclusions against actual output and reruns top to bottom before handoff. Maintained by OpenAI in the Data Analytics plugin of openai/plugins.

Build with OpenAI best practices inside Codex: call the OpenAI API, build and deploy agents with the Agents SDK, create ChatGPT apps and prepare submission materials, and create API keys directly. Maintained by OpenAI; Codex only.

Open-source alternative to NotebookLM's podcast feature: turns web pages, PDFs, images, YouTube videos or text into two-host conversational audio, useful for lecture notes or articles. Uses Gemini and OpenAI API keys by default, or local models plus free Edge TTS.

Write a script, speakers and visuals in MulmoScript (JSON or YAML) and the mulmo command generates narration and images and assembles a video, podcast, slide deck or PDF, for explainer videos. Needs Node.js, FFmpeg and an OpenAI API key; other providers optional.

Microsoft Translator's translation quality tool: GPT scores each sentence using MQM error categories or a direct score; --list_mqm_errors shows error types and severity. Needs line-aligned source and target files, Python and an OpenAI or Azure OpenAI key (paid); a translator should still review.
