# Codex agent as company employee

The author built an autonomous agent from Codex, ChatGPT Plus, systemd, and UNIX email and user accounts, and uses it like an employee.

Result: The agent handles all kinds of tasks for their company, and the author reports no memory problems so far.

## How it was set up

Codex with ChatGPT Plus, run under systemd, using normal UNIX email and user accounts. Memory is one long rolling context window, a diary, and a markdown wiki folder.

## Worth knowing

Early days. The author expects problems as demands grow and may add specialist bots.

## Evidence note

Author's own claim in an HN comment; no repo or demo
