Codex Lab: Chicago

​Build Faster with Codex: AI-Native Software Engineering in Practice

​Delivered by Eliza, an Official OpenAI Services Partner.

​Codex Lab is a hands-on workshop for developers, founders, and technical builders exploring the future of AI-native software development.

Modern software teams are entering a new development paradigm where AI agents can reason across the full engineering lifecycle, from product specs and architecture decisions to implementation, testing, debugging, and iteration. Codex is quickly becoming part of how high-output teams build, experiment, and ship.

In Codex Lab, you’ll:

• ​Build real applications using OpenAI Codex and AI-assisted engineering workflows.

• ​Learn how developers are integrating AI agents across planning, implementation, testing, debugging, and code review.

• ​Explore multi-agent orchestration patterns for PRDs, architecture, iteration loops, and autonomous task execution.

• ​See how AI-native teams are compressing development cycles and expanding what small teams can ship.

• ​Collaborate in a live mini hackathon to build creative tools, automations, and AI-powered products.

​📱 Prize: The winning hackathon participant will receive an iPad.

​🥗 Food and drinks will be provided.

​Perfect for: Software engineers, AI builders, technical founders, product-minded developers, and anyone interested in the next era of AI-native development.
