OpenAI's six role-specific Codex plugins (announced 2 Jun 2026, including Sales wired to Salesforce/HubSpot/Slack and Creative Production wired to Figma/Canva) are rolling out to Business and Enterprise plans first, while Codex itself is available from the $20 ChatGPT Plus plan up, so for a small team on Plus the cost-rational move is to use Codex now for self-assembled automation and treat the packaged plugins as a reason to watch rather than an immediate reason to upgrade to Business.
Anchored on OpenAI's 'Codex for every role, tool, and workflow' announcement (2 Jun 2026, openai.com/index/codex-for-every-role-tool-workflow/): six plugins (Sales, Data Analytics, Creative Production, Product Design, Public Equity Investing, Investment Banking); Codex on Free(limited)/Go/Plus $20/Pro/Business/Enterprise; role plugins + Codex Sites rolling out to Business and Enterprise first; Denise Dresser (CRO, OpenAI) quote via TechCrunch 2 Jun 2026. VERIFIED 2026-06-08: openai.com 403s to crawlers, slug confirmed via TechCrunch + 9to5Mac; plugin names + Plus $20 + Business/Enterprise-first gating + Sales (Salesforce/HubSpot/Slack) + Creative (Figma/Canva/Shutterstock/Picsart) corroborated; Dresser quote confirmed in TechCrunch (fetched). PRECISION: the '62 apps / 110 skills' figure is OpenAI's own (originates in the 403'd blog body, one secondary corroboration) — attributed as 'per OpenAI' in the body, not asserted as independently verified; additional Sales/Creative integrations (Outreach/Clay/Rox/Actively/Fal) deliberately left out as M-confidence. Operator-register advisory; claim is the use-Codex-now/watch-the-plugins stance for Plus teams, NOT an endorsement of upgrading to Business. 30-day cadence, tier availability still moving. Triggers: (1) the role plugins reaching Plus; (2) OpenAI changing Codex tier availability or Plus pricing; (3) a competitor shipping comparable role bundles at the $20 tier. Siblings: OPS (AI cold-sales), the anthropic-vs-openai-vs-gemini SMB read, AI client proposals.

Recent corrections in Operators
- OPS-002 · Partial · 28 May 2026
Price drift: Notion Business with bundled AI now about $15/seat annual ($20 monthly) vs cited $19.50; ClickUp Brain now $7/seat vs cited $9. Verdict logic unchanged; figures need updating.
- OPS-036 · Partial · 29 Apr 2026
Initial publication 29 Apr 2026. Status set to Partial at publication because clause 6 commentary references an order-of-magnitude remediation-cost gap derived from the IAPP 2024 AI Governance Profession Report; the report characterises the gap as material but does not publish a precise multiple, so the wording is annotated source: our-estimate.
- OPS-035 · Holding · 29 Apr 2026
Initial publication 29 Apr 2026. Status set to Partial at publication because category 5 lacks the same regulatory/cited-consequence anchor as categories 1-4.
