Couldn't AI like be their custom inventory software?
Codex and Claud Code should not even exist.

Absolutely not. It's inherently a software with a non-zero amount of probability in every operation. You'd have a similar experience asking an intern to remember your inventory.
Like I enjoy Copilot as a research tool right but at the same time, ANYTHING that involves delving into our chat history is often wrong. I own three vehicles, for example, and it cannot for it's very life remember the year, make and model of them. Like they're there, but they're constantly getting switched around in the buffer. And once I started positing questions about friend's vehicles that only got worse.
