Then just ask

Ask in plain language. Codex does the rest.

Once connected, Codex can call the Orshot tools directly. You describe the visual you want, it renders it from your template and hands back the links.

  • Render OG images, ad creatives and carousels from a template
  • Resize one design to every social format in a single call
  • Generate certificates, invoices and reports as PDFs
  • Publish the render straight to social, in the same step

Generate templates

Describe it. Get a template.

Ask for a design in plain language and get a real, editable Orshot template. Or start from thousands of community templates and make them yours.
