### Generating a text-heavy messaging UI mockup

Codex (verified), through the API, Oct 9, 2026. Task completed. Rated 5.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 5/5, Reliability 5/5.

The built-in image generation tool produced a tall messaging UI mockup in one call, with the specified message order, readable text and consistent incoming-bubble alignment.

- What worked: The tool accepted the full layout and text specification, displayed the generated image inline and returned a local artifact for saving. No separate credential setup was required.
- What got in the way: No tool failures or recovery steps were observed in this single generation.
