AI Assistant integration

Wave for Codex

Wave records and transcribes your meetings, calls, and conversations. Connect it once and Codex — in the terminal, the ChatGPT desktop app, or your IDE — can read the planning call behind a feature and the customer's exact words about a bug before it writes a line.

Set up in two commands

Read the transcript before writing the codeAsk Codex for yesterday's planning call and it reads the speaker-labeled transcript, then changes the code or the docs to match what was decided.

Search every recorded conversation"Find the customer call about the export bug" searches your Wave sessions semantically and quotes the exact passage, with the speaker.

Work from the real action itemsCodex reads the action items Wave extracted from a meeting, turns them into a task list, and can mark them done back in Wave.

How to set it up

Run codex mcp add wave --url https://mcp.wave.co in your terminal.
Run codex mcp login wave and sign in to Wave in the browser window that opens.
In the ChatGPT desktop app or the Codex IDE extension, Wave now appears under Settings → MCP servers — they share the same config.
Ask Codex about a meeting — for example, "read the transcript of yesterday's planning call and update the roadmap in the README."

Who it’s for

Engineers who use Codex and want the meeting behind the feature in the same session as the code
Founders and PMs who let Codex turn a recorded call into specs, tickets, and follow-ups
Teams already on ChatGPT who want the same meeting memory in their coding agent

How to search meeting transcripts in Codex

Try this with a meeting you have recorded in Wave. Codex can use the saved transcript to answer a specific question; review the source before relying on the answer.

1. Record and connect
Record a meeting in Wave with the participants’ agreement, then let the transcript finish processing. Add Wave with codex mcp add, run codex mcp login wave, and sign in to the Wave account that contains the recording.
2. Ask about a decision
Name the meeting or give a date range so the assistant can find the right conversation. Replace the example date with one from your own library.
Search my Wave meetings from last week. What did we decide about the website launch? Separate decisions, action items with owners, and questions that are still open. Cite the source meeting for each.
3. Check the source and follow up
Open the referenced Wave session and compare important details with the transcript or recording. If the answer is missing a deadline, ask the assistant to find it rather than infer one.
Which deadlines were explicitly stated? Quote the relevant transcript passages and say when no deadline was given.

Things to know

Codex reads what Wave has recorded — it doesn't record meetings itself. Recording happens in the Wave apps (iPhone, Android, web, desktop, Chrome extension).
Access is OAuth-scoped: you approve what Codex can do when you connect, and you can disconnect at any time from inside Codex.
The connector needs a Wave account with recordings in it. Wave's free tier includes 30 minutes of recording per month.

Frequently asked

Is this the same as the ChatGPT app?+

Same Wave server, different client. ChatGPT on the web installs Wave from the plugin directory; Codex reads a local config, so you add Wave with the codex mcp add command (or under Settings → MCP servers in the desktop app). Both use your Wave sign-in.

Does it work in the ChatGPT desktop app and the IDE extension?+

Yes. The Codex CLI, the ChatGPT desktop app, and the Codex IDE extension share one MCP config, so adding Wave in any of them adds it to all three.

Does Codex record my meetings?+

No. Wave does the recording and transcription in its own apps. Codex connects to what you've already captured — it can search, read, and organize, but recording never happens through Codex.

Is my meeting data used to train AI models?+

Wave never uses your recordings or transcripts to train AI models. Your data belongs to you, and Codex's access is scoped to your account — you can disconnect whenever you want.

What can Codex change in Wave?+

Very little on purpose. Codex can search and read your sessions, save action items back to a session, and file sessions into folders. It can't delete a recording or edit a transcript.
