People keep asking for this w/ Codex, too, and I really regret that both labs seem inclined to listen.
If you ask a thinking/research type question in 'Chat' versus 'Work' mode in these products -- say, something complex about politics, or do a multiturn business strategy, or want to work thru a new concept, you get very different answers.
The harness, steering, etc. in the chat/reasoning products is so much better for this type of question (that doesn't require code as a primary substrate).
Even as someone who mainlines like, 7 coding agents at all times, I regret that productivity fever will mean the regression of think-first-act-later AI UX.

I had this same thought recently. Is it possible to 'recreate' ChatGPT/Claude Chat easily in Codex or Claude Code? I assume it would roughly be just swapping the system prompt. Anthropic seems to publish theirs but I don't think OpenAI does
