Appshots

A Mac hotkey that hands ChatGPT Work and Codex whatever app window you are looking at, as both a screenshot and its text.

Pressing Command twice captures the frontmost app window and sends it into the thread as a screenshot plus the text extracted from that window
Because it carries the window's text and not only an image, the model can read content a screenshot alone would force it to guess at
OpenAI's own examples include summarizing a Slack thread, filling out an open form, pulling themes from replies on X, turning notes into a deck, trimming a video in iMovie, and turning an open recipe into a grocery list
Available in the Codex app on macOS, for ChatGPT Work and Codex

Asking about something on your screen without describing it or copying it over first

The thing you need help with lives in another app: a Slack thread, a form, a dashboard, a video editor
