# Storyline
- 00:00–00:04 The ad begins with a man, Alexander Embiricos from Codex at OpenAI, discussing his experience with a pull request that was approved but had a test failure.
- 00:04–00:08 The man shares that he has become "so lazy" that the idea of going into Buildkite and looking at test logs is unappealing, conveying a relatable struggle for developers.
- 00:09–00:21 The man then shares that with the Codex, it is possible to simply click into the skills tab and type in "Buildkite." He then notes that the code can be fixed using the software.
- 00:21–00:33 The man shares how, with Codex, he did not have to go to GitHub to check in his PR merge, and he could ask yo, did this merge? He states that he would have archived it last night, but he didn't just now, because I wanted to show you guys this.
- 00:33–00:36 The screen shows Codex logos.
