He didn't want to pay for Screen Studio, so Codex built a clone in two hours
Vybhav Ramachandran didn't feel like paying for Screen Studio, so he asked OpenAI's Codex to build him a clone. It took two hours, and he says it's 'so good'. Next on his own roadmap: saving recordings straight to Google Drive and editing from cloud storage. His bigger claim is that the age of paying for SaaS is over and software will be built automatically to meet every user's needs, daily. Bold. But the clone already exists, and the screen recorder market just took a two-hour hit.
