Chronicle

Chronicle captures the content displayed on a user’s screen and creates temporary “memories” that can be supplied to OpenAI’s Codex models as context for subsequent prompts. By extracting recent visual information, it enables the model to reference what the user has been working on without manually copying text or code, facilitating smoother interactions in coding or documentation tasks.

The tool is aimed at developers and power users who work with Codex for code generation, debugging, or other productivity‑oriented workflows and want the model to be aware of the current screen state. It integrates with the Codex API, handling prompt caching, token counting, and context compaction to keep the memory footprint manageable.

Chronicle is positioned as an experimental feature within the broader OpenAI developer ecosystem, offering a way to bridge screen‑level context and language model reasoning while providing utilities for real‑time prompt management and evaluation.
