Asana uses Codex to replace testing system
OpenAI says Asana completed a long-planned engineering migration in two weeks for about $12K.
Why it matters
The case points to coding agents being used for large software maintenance and migration work, not just small code-generation tasks. It also gives a concrete enterprise example of AI-assisted engineering cost and timeline compression.
The key points
- 1.Asana replaced an outdated testing system with Codex.
- 2.OpenAI said the work took two weeks and about $12K.
- 3.The project had been expected to take five years.
OpenAI said Asana used Codex to replace an outdated testing system in two weeks. The post said the work had been expected to take five years and cost about $12,000.
