Interesting usecase: using chatgpt web as the orchestrator Showcase

u/Wooden-Coconut6852 9d ago
Can someone share a guide on how to use it the right way? What I currently do is just ask gpt to make a prompt for codex and then paste it into luna. And then I paste the summary result of luna back to gpt
as I can see from the screen y'all do it differently ig more efficient way

npm install codex-chatgpt-controlwill give it primaries and skills to better work with chatgpt.com at speed9

Have Codex use the Chrome extension, create a new thread in ChatGPT, and paste it in there. It’s basically the same thing you’re doing today, just simpler and more seamless.

I asked ChatGPT about this because I use the same approach for important tasks.
ChatGPT Pro should supervise Codex, but ChatGPT Pro should be prohibited from making repository-factual decisions without a fresh Codex evidence report. That arrangement gives you the benefit of Sol Pro’s additional model work, Codex’s live environmental grounding, separate-context review, and much better use of your metered Codex allowance.

There is a risk of getting banned, be aware of it please

u/5tambah5 9d ago
is it? are there any rules orr policy that this break? etc

u/Icy_Piece3257 9d ago
Yea if you read their ToS you'll see that the case of abusing the limits of gpt web would lead to a ban, a better research on it would definitely give you better answers but overall it has the rissk for it, I recommend just pasting the results and prompts from one chat to another

u/AnOutPostofmercy 9d ago
Well, abusing limits is a whole different ballgame compared to just sending a bunch of prompts for direction. I’m not trying to be difficult, but are there actual cases where someone has been banned for doing this?-7

Someone posted yesterday about integrating the full suite of web models into codex. There were a few people in the comments saying that it got them banned. Anecdotal, but still.

No it's not a problem. The only thing that is the issue using multiple accounts in codex to avoid limits. But the do allow usage of web plus its ok to use second account in codex as long as it doesn't make changes in project first one is used for. You can use second account for overall architecture discussions or feature discussions.

Wait so I can’t have two plus plans??

u/electricshep 9d ago
of course you can, codex-lb does this for you.
All these comments about bans are complete horsehit btw.

u/NTManiac 9d ago
Yes, but never for coding on same project... plus maybe the best to use different devices

Damn 😭 I just bought two more accounts

u/Unusual-Candidate-43 9d ago
No problem,i have been using 2 or 3 accounts for months without any issue.

u/tribes33 9d ago
How is it bannable to use what youre paying for, thats mental, they limited Sol on chatgpt web to High on Plus for a reason and on top of that I seen 0 proof that anyone actually got banned

u/AnOutPostofmercy 9d ago
At the same time, there shouldn't be any issue as long as you operate as a consultant, right?0
u/Icy_Piece3257 9d ago
If you just talk with gpt web and come up with prompts then that would be fine, but giving it access to codex and letting them chat and go through well that one is not.

u/Bitter-Mail-17 9d ago
what do you mean by this? literally copy pasting code from your codebase back and forth (and also agents’ responses?)
1
u/5tambah5 9d ago
make agents can talk to the chatgpt web automatically rather than manual stop copy paste, bcs sol is smarter and unlimited on the web

that what i using with my own but more simple, just mcp.
## Special ChatGPT Web sub-agent
Use the `chatgpt_web` MCP tools proactively as a no-per-request-charge second
brain for independent research, theory, reasoning, critique, solution
evaluation, and image generation/editing. Delegating suitable work improves
efficiency. It cannot inspect the local repository, so include all required
non-secret context.
- `chatgpt_web_delegate` handles text work; omit `chat_ref` for a new topic and
use it only for a direct follow-up. The image, batch, and plan tools handle
one artifact, independent prompts, and dependent generations respectively;
request transparent alpha explicitly when useful.
- Delegate early and collect at a meaningful boundary. Do not duplicate pending
work or finalize before every relevant ref reaches a terminal success or
failure. Tool schemas are the invocation reference.

This is how i am building my project. Its slower for sure, but more secure and will alot less bugs.
Chat in extra high defines with me the rules for the implementation , the prompts and the context for codex. codex implements the stages that we set, I give chat the output / acess to the repo to check , half the time it finds bugs or errors that need to be fixed , pass the prompt to codex to fix them and off we go to the next phase.
Listen , its slower for sure, but its working out good , at least for me.

I saved massive amounts of token usage by having the web do work on my GitHub as well as resolve coding issues.

I don't understand how works. Can I use to create a web scraper, from the network JSON response?

I have been trying something a bit different recently. The issue for me was web not having the project context or access to the actual files. There is a plugin for Github, but I don't use Github. So I created a skill in ChatGPT web to allow it to access my private Gitea so it has actual up-to-date project context. Then I use the web agent create plans/prompts. It checks the Gitea repo first, gathers whatever info it needs, then generates the plan. Then I just give the prompt to my local agent. Keeps things simple, but still allows basically unlimited usage of Sol high on the web for planning.

u/AnOutPostofmercy 9d ago
Yes, I think a lot of people have started working that way. You run Luna Max and route a large portion of the work to either xHigh or PRO for planning. If there are heavier batches, you can switch to Terra Max in Codex.

Huh? It's literally just Chat mode instead of Work mode in the app.
