OpenAI is testing a feature called 'Chronicle' for its AI coding agent Codex. Chronicle captures screenshots of a user's screen to improve Codex's contextual understanding. The feature is currently available as an opt-in research preview for macOS users. Screenshots are temporarily stored on-device for up to six hours and then processed on OpenAI servers to generate text-based memories. OpenAI warns that Chronicle may create new risks, including prompt injection attacks and storing sensitive information. The feature is not available in the EU, UK, or Switzerland.
