OpenAI launches new macOS app for agentic coding

Gut reaction: Agentic coding stopped being a concept and became a shipped product - that's the story.

OpenAI's new macOS app isn't revolutionary, but it matters because it ships standardized agentic patterns directly to devs. No API wrapping, no 'write your own agent framework' - just run it. The baseline for what a coding assistant should do has shifted. Multi-step planning, tool use, code generation in one flow - that's now the floor. If you're not offering that, you look broken.

Here's the thing: the market just got a default everyone else has to match.
