What is Cameo?

**Cameo is a native desktop canvas that gives your local Codex agent hands and eyes for image work.**

Chat is a terrible interface for images. You can't point at the corner of a photo and say "this part." You can't see three variations side by side. You can't keep the original next to the edit. Codex can already generate and edit images — but a single scrolling chat column flattens all of that into a thread you lose track of.

Cameo puts that capability into a **spatial canvas** instead. You open a folder, its images lay out on an infinite board, and you work the way you actually think about images: select one, draw a box on the part you mean, type an instruction, and the result lands **right next to the source** so the lineage is visible. The conversation stays continuous — "warmer," "now change the background," "do that to these three" — because there's one ongoing Codex session per board.

Cameo is **the hands and eyes, not the brain.** It does not host a model, sell tokens, or orchestrate agents. All generation and understanding stay with your local Codex CLI, using whatever Codex credentials or provider configuration you already have. Cameo owns only what a chat UI structurally can't: spatial layout, file identity, non-destructive
