OpenAI Developers has announced a new Showcase tab in the OpenAI Developers plugin, giving developers a starting point for API projects rather than a blank workspace. The announcement was posted on November 7, 2026 (Asia/Shanghai).
According to OpenAI, the starter projects span agents, creative tools, data visualization and voice. A project can be opened in Codex and developed further. The linked API demos collection also brings together working examples and source code.
The collection includes Trips for itinerary research, Facet for exploring CSV data through questions and charts, and Folio for turning images and a brief into a presentation. These entries show Try demo, Open in Codex and Download source controls. Other entries differ: OpenAI.fm offers Try demo and View source, while Chatkit.world lists Try demo. The same set of controls is not available on every project.
The update is a project-discovery and remixing entry point. The announcement also references the existing ChatGPT Pro and Business API credits benefit; that is background, not a newly announced offer.
We haven’t installed the plugin or run these projects in Codex.
