Use case overview
A communications professional had Codex email her son's doctor for a refill and sort 240 recipes down to 62 family-fit ones into an index, spreadsheet and Drive folder.
Reported experience
What they did
Beth Gebhard used the Codex desktop app. She pointed it at a favorite cooking site and asked for dinner recipes that two picky kids would eat. It filtered and rated them, then built an index, a sortable spreadsheet and a Drive folder. For the refill, she used Codex's mobile function to draft and send an email to her son's doctor, who was in her contacts.
How it went
Codex sorted 240 dinner recipes into 62 family-fit ones, grouped as Best Bets, Solid Weeknight Options and Maybe with Modifications. The refill was called in while she was out running errands.
Worth knowing
Mobile use needs multi-factor authentication set up first, and the computer must be awake. Hers was idle at home, so nothing happened. She also advises approval prompts and a sandbox folder.
Example prompts
I have [number] recipes in [folder or file]. Sort them down to ones that fit my family's needs: [diets, allergies, picky eaters, time limit]. Produce an index document, a spreadsheet with the keepers, and a folder organized by [meal type]. Don't delete anything, and show me the shortlist before moving or renaming files.
