What issue are you seeing?

Codex is unable to access ChatGPT shared conversations.

<img width="2223" height="1041" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a1147583-3fa4-4d3a-aa55-3247f881caa5" />

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Go to a ChatGPT conversation and click on Share to get a sharable link (https://chatgpt.com/share/{id}).
  2. Go to Codex and ask it if it can access that conversation

What is the expected behavior?

For Codex to be able to access ChatGPT conversations that are meant to be shared.

Additional information

I only tried it on Cloud Codex, but it probably also doesn't work on CLI, extension, app etc.

extent analysis

TL;DR

  • Codex may need updated permissions or authentication to access shared ChatGPT conversations.

Guidance

  • Verify that the shared conversation link is correctly formatted and accessible via a web browser.
  • Check Codex's documentation for any specific requirements or settings needed to access shared ChatGPT conversations.
  • Investigate if there are any permissions or authentication issues between Codex and ChatGPT that could be preventing access to shared conversations.
  • Test accessing shared conversations on different platforms (e.g., CLI, extension, app) to see if the issue is specific to Cloud Codex.

Example

  • No code snippet is provided as the issue does not imply a specific code-related fix.

Notes

  • The issue may be related to how Codex handles shared conversation links or its integration with ChatGPT, but more information about the error messages or Codex's configuration would be helpful for a more precise diagnosis.

Recommendation

  • Apply workaround: Try to attempt access with a different shared conversation link or check if there are any specific settings in Codex that need to be adjusted to allow access to shared ChatGPT conversations, as the issue seems to be related to permissions or authentication rather than a version problem.
