OpenAI is introducing plugins for Codex that bundle skills, integrations, and connectors into shareable workflow packages. The move directly addresses Claude Code's lead among developers and positions Codex beyond coding into broader agentic work platforms. Over 20 plugins are currently available, including integrations with Figma, Notion, Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive.

GitHub has published technical details on the security architecture underlying its Agentic Workflows feature, which runs AI agents within GitHub Actions. The system implements process isolation, output constraints, and comprehensive audit logging to contain agent behavior.

Anthropic expanded Claude Cowork with integrations to Google Workspace, DocuSign, and WordPress, plus pre-built plugins for HR, design, engineering, and finance tasks. The platform can now execute multi-step workflows across Excel and PowerPoint automatically.

American International Group (AIG) has deployed an agentic AI system with an orchestration layer, reporting faster-than-expected productivity gains in underwriting and portfolio management. The deployment demonstrates measurable improvements in throughput and workflow efficiency, according to recent investor disclosures.
