Eliza + OpenAI Codex Lab: San Francisco
Build Faster with Codex: AI-Native Software Engineering in Practice
Delivered by Eliza, an Official OpenAI Services Partner. Event space sponsored by OpenAI.
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.
Codex Lab is a hands-on workshop for software engineers, AI builders, technical founders, and product-minded developers who are already familiar with Codex and want to build practical apps, tools, and AI-native workflows.
You’ll see a live Codex demo, learn how teams are using AI agents across the software development lifecycle, and then build your own app, tool, automation, or AI-native workflow in a mini hackathon.
