Context
OpenAI's appshots let a request refer to the app already in front of the user. The announcement says this supplies foreground-app to ChatGPT Work and Codex. Its examples include turning open notes into a presentation and using an API reference to help implement a feature.
The common mechanism is attaching the material being viewed to the task being requested. Instead of making the user restate what “these notes” or “this reference” means, the app context supplies that starting point.
- context window — The maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.
- AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
