My spouse and I struggle almost every day to decide what movie or show to watch. We can spend more time scrolling through streaming services than actually watching something. Even when we use apps designed to track movies or recommend content, they often feel clunky. We find their recommendations rarely reflect our individual tastes, and they do not make it easy to find something we both want to watch. I had already been using Codex extensively for another project when I saw the OpenAI Build Week announcement. I wanted to find out how far I could take an idea using Codex as my primary development partner. I had read about “one-shot” development, so I started by describing the complete product I wanted. Codex produced a working MVP from that first implementation prompt. From there, I continued directing the product through conversation. Within roughly 25ish product prompts, Flix had evolved from an idea into a refined, connected application.
