Build AI-Powered Forms, Portals & Internal Tools with Codex
Use Codex to create internal business applications, including request forms, tracking systems, approval workflows, and administrative portals.
Course overview
Use Codex to create internal business applications, including request forms, tracking systems, approval workflows, and administrative portals. During this 3-day instructor-led course, you work through the practical problem behind this work with OpenAI Codex as a guided coding and workflow assistant. You begin by defining the intended outcome, users, inputs, constraints, and success checks. With starter materials and instructor demonstrations, you build Working internal business application., so you can inspect Codex’s suggestions and explain how the result works. Exercises use fictional or approved sample data; keep sensitive records, passwords, and keys out of prompts and source files. The final workshop checks functionality, calculations, edge cases, and output clarity. The course is designed for Business owners, operations managers, consultants, citizen developers.. Prerequisites: Basic computer skills.. You leave with project files where appropriate, reusable prompts, exercises, reference notes, and an adaptation checklist. The result is a learning prototype rather than automatically production-ready software; further security, deployment, accessibility, and maintenance review may be required before live use.

Hands-on project
Use Codex to create internal business applications, including request forms, tracking systems, approval workflows, and administrative portals. The guided capstone produces Working internal business application.. Participants use a defined problem, sample or approved data, and visible success checks; they inspect generated work, test likely failure cases, and document unresolved risks.
What you take home
- Working internal business application.
