You now have this tool that basically

0:01

makes it feel less like AI for coding

0:03

and more like an operating layer for

0:05

modern engineering work.

I am Ryan Fitzgerald. I'm an engineer at

0:10

Zapier, and this is what Codex unlocks.

0:12

At Zapier, we're a remote-first company,

0:13

[music] so we're working a lot of

0:14

different tools like Slack, Google Docs,

0:17

Coda, and Codex is the one piece that

0:19

pulls all that together for us. So, one

0:21

of the big use cases for us is

0:22

generating full-scope tickets in Jira

0:24

through Codex, and that involves a

0:25

couple different tools. So, we're using,

0:26

for example, Zapier MCP and SDK to pull

0:29

out of context into Codex for us. We're

0:32

[music] across the board much faster at

0:34

producing tickets. Before, it could take

0:35

maybe weeks of research to kind of pull

0:37

together everything you need. Now, with

0:38

Codex, we're able to go through all of

0:40

those different knowledge sources, pull

0:41

together an entire epic with detailed

0:43

instructions of what we might need to do

0:45

in hours instead of [music] weeks in the

0:47

past, unblocking the customer faster

0:49

than we're previously.

Interactive Summary

Ryan Fitzgerald, an engineer at Zapier, explains how Codex acts as a powerful operating layer for modern engineering, enabling teams to streamline complex workflows like generating Jira tickets by integrating various knowledge sources.
