According to OpenAI on X, Codex now performs computer use on macOS by visually operating apps with its own cursor—seeing, clicking, and typing—while running in the background without taking over the machine. As reported by OpenAI, this enables automated frontend iteration, native app testing, and workflows without public APIs, creating new opportunities for developers to validate UI flows, QA teams to run end‑to‑end tests across macOS apps, and startups to automate legacy software tasks that lack integrations. According to OpenAI, the capability targets scenarios where traditional API-based automation is impossible, suggesting a practical path to agentic UI automation for product teams seeking faster release cycles and lower manual QA costs.

According to Jeff Dean on Twitter, Gemini 3 has significantly advanced the generative UI use case, building on earlier prototypes developed by @yanivle with previous Gemini models. The latest iteration of Gemini 3 demonstrates refined capabilities for generating user interfaces, enabling more practical and efficient UI design automation. This development opens new business opportunities for companies seeking to streamline software development, enhance user experiences, and reduce design costs by leveraging AI-driven UI generation. As a result, Gemini 3 is poised to accelerate adoption in sectors such as SaaS, e-commerce, and enterprise software, driving innovation in how digital products are designed and deployed (source: twitter.com/JeffDean/status/1991043292419797453).

According to Google DeepMind (@GoogleDeepMind), Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite now enables instant code generation for user interfaces and their contents using only the context from the previous screen. This breakthrough, demonstrated in a recent video, shows how developers can rapidly create and iterate UI components with just a button click, significantly accelerating app development workflows. The ability to dynamically generate context-aware UI code has major implications for productivity in software engineering and opens new business opportunities for rapid prototyping and AI-powered front-end development tools (Source: Google DeepMind Twitter, June 19, 2025).
