Nobody asked for captions — the model made the whole demo video
September 9, 2026
Nobody wants to make a product demo video. You record it, you click the wrong thing, you record it again, and an hour is gone.
My co-host Nico handed the whole job to Codex — a coding tool — before the show today, and played the result on screen while he told the story:
"Not only did he do it, he decided to add captions. Nobody asked for captions, but it knows this is a click through video."
That is the part worth taking. It did not just follow the steps it was given. It worked out what kind of video it was making and did the thing a person would have forgotten.
