On June 2, OpenAI released six professional plug-ins for Codex, covering six roles: data analyst, creative production, sales, product designer, stock investor, and investment banker. In total, it integrates 62 popular business applications, covering 110 automation skills. According to an internal OpenAI report, non-engineer users account for 20% of Codex’s weekly active users, but their adoption rate is 3 times that of engineer users.
Six Professional Plug-in Specs: Confirmed Roles, Integrated Applications, and Skill Count
According to content released by OpenAI, each of the six plug-ins bundles integrations, instructions, and scenarios. They are ready to use out of the box and can be customized:
Six covered roles: data analyst, creative production, sales, product designer, stock investor, investment banker
Total number of integrated business applications: 62
Total number of automation skills: 110
Weekly active user base: 5 million (overall Codex data)
The plug-in design eliminates the need for users to write prompts themselves, connect APIs, or build workflows; the plug-in handles the upfront preparation.
Sites Feature: Codex Outputs Generate Shareable Hosted Interactive Websites Directly
OpenAI also rolled out the Sites feature, allowing Codex to generate “hosted interactive websites” directly from its output. Unlike the previous approach of outputting local files, Sites provides links that can be accessed externally.
The officially confirmed partner platforms include: Wix, Replit, Figma, Lovable. OpenAI has not explained any separate standalone billing method for the Sites feature; it currently falls under the scope of functions included in the existing subscription plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the subscription pricing for the six Codex professional plug-ins require extra payment?
According to OpenAI’s official announcement, the six professional plug-ins are not charged separately; they follow the existing subscription plan: $20 per month for the individual Plus tier, and $100 per month for the high-usage Pro tier. Users do not need to re-evaluate their budget and can enable the plug-ins directly in their existing account.
How is the Sites feature different from Codex’s previous output method?
The Sites feature lets Codex output results as shareable hosted interactive website links, rather than the previous local file format. Confirmed deployment platforms include Wix, Replit, Figma, and Lovable; OpenAI has not published specific standalone billing details for the Sites feature.
What is the time gap between OpenAI’s professional plug-in release and Anthropic’s enterprise agent program?
According to public reports, Anthropic launched its enterprise agent plug-in program in February 2026, while OpenAI only added plug-in support for Codex in the same month (March). Anthropic launched finance-specific agents in May, and OpenAI’s professional plug-ins were officially released on June 2. The time difference between the two is about three to four months.
