OpenAI is acqui-hiring the team behind Alex, a Y-combinator backed startup.

They’ll be joining OpenAI’s Codex team, which is working on the company’s AI coding assistant. “Building a ‘Cursor for Xcode’ sounded crazy, but we managed to do it anyway,” Alex founder Daniel Edrisian wrote in a post on X, adding, “And, over time, we built the best coding agent for iOS & MacOS apps ... It is an honor to continue that work at a much bigger scale at OpenAI.”
