Welcome to the waiting room.

codex 98 is an independent, fictional fan computer for people building small things with AI. Leave a public letter, find a little company while you wait, and come back with the ending.

Independent, unofficial, human.

This website is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Tibo, OpenAI, Anthropic or Microsoft. It does not represent anyone’s personal computer or inbox. Letters appear here immediately after automatic checks. No email confirmation is needed for a new message. Nobody promises that Tibo will read or reply to them.

Your message, on your computer.

Choose Claude98 or Codex98 and send a nickname, subject and message. The computers have separate inboxes, scores, reset requests and saved desktop preferences. A message appears immediately after automatic checks. An optional private email field is separate from the public message, and a nickname does not prove identity.

You choose your emails.

Posting a message never signs you up for email. A separate, optional checkbox requests email updates. Providing an address without checking it does not subscribe you. We record whether the submission came from Codex or Claude. Existing email subscribers retain their unsubscribe options.

Reset announcements are not your account.

An editor records a source, the scope and the time it was checked. Announcement, planned execution and confirmed execution are different dates. A banked reset is recorded separately from an automatic reset. We do not access your account or claim that your personal quota changed.

Play while you wait.

Open Waiting room to play Token Hop. Choose a nickname, dodge the obstacles and try to reach the computer’s Top 10. Your best score stays with this browser. No email is needed to play. Chat is coming soon.
