Connect Codex to Hacker News

Give an AI agent Hacker News as a tool and it reads the site itself instead of asking you to. It can pull the top, best, and newest stories, fetch Ask HN, Show HN, and job postings, look up any item or user by id, and search by relevance or recent date, calling each as a tool while it works. Wire it into a hosted coding agent in NoClick and it can track a topic or gather a source list on its own.

About Codex

Codex is OpenAI's command-line coding agent.

Connect an integration to the agent and Codex can query, create, and update records in that app directly. You keep the Codex experience and give it real reach into the tools your team already uses.
