    Team Config for shared configuration

    Team Config groups the files teams use to standardize Codex across repositories and machines. Use it to share: config.toml defaults. rules/ for command controls outside the sandbox. skills/ for reusable workflows. Codex loads these layers from.codex/ folders in the current working directory, parent folders, and the repo root, plus user (~/.codex/) and system (/etc/codex/) locations. Higher-precedence locations override lower-precedence ones. Admins can still enforce constraints with requirements.toml, which overrides defaults regardless of location. Learn more in Team Config.

    Gemini introduces Personal Intelligence

    What: Starting today, you can now connect Gemini to your Google apps —including Gmail, Photos, YouTube, and Search—to unlock a more proactive and personalized experience. We built Personal Intelligence with privacy at the center. Connecting your apps is off by default: you choose to turn it on, decide exactly which apps to connect, and can turn it off anytime. This beta version of Personal Intelligence is rolling out to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. It works across Web, Android, and iOS. The experience is not yet available to Google Workspace business and education plans. Why: The best assistants don’t just know the world; they know you. By securely connecting to the apps you use every day, Gemini understands your personal context to provide uniquely tailored answers. You won’t have to start from scratch every time you ask for help; instead, it feels like you’re collaborating with a partner who is already up to speed.
