Ep 829: ChatGPT Voice is Like Jarvis: How to use the New Feature and the 7 biggest unlocks
44m 36s
The podcast episode highlights ChatGPT Voice, a new feature in the desktop app ChatGPT Work/Codex, which the host calls a "Jarvis mode" and the most useful AI tool he has ever used. Unlike older voice features—dictation, advanced voice mode, or the newer GPT Live—ChatGPT Voice combines full-duplex conversation with agentic execution. It can listen, speak, and coordinate tasks simultaneously, controlling a computer to create documents, organize cloud storage, triage emails, plan shows, and more, all through natural language commands. The host tested it during an hour-long walk, remotely controlling his home computer via his iPhone, and accomplished more than he would in hours at his desk. Key differentiators include access to connectors and MCPs (which GPT Live lacks), the ability to understand and interact with any thread across Codex projects, and the option to schedule recurring tasks via voice. The host provides seven advanced use cases, emphasizing that users must start new chats for voice mode, leverage connectors for real work, and use scheduling to automate workflows. He criticizes the lack of hype around this release, urging listeners to adopt it for career and business growth. The episode includes a demo and practical advice, positioning ChatGPT Voice as a transformative tool that changes how work is approached, not just executed.
This is the Everyday AI Show, the everyday podcast where we simplify AI and bring its power to your fingertips. Listen daily for practical advice to boost your career, business and everyday life. Many people talking about the new chat GBT voice are calling it their AGI moments and I don't disagree. Yeah, it's changed how I work in the short amount of time that it's been out, but there's usually at least a handful of updates every quarter that do that. But this update from chat GBT voice changes how I think about work. And that has rarely happened in the nearly four years I've been doing the everyday AI show. It's like if you've ever seen Iron Man, chat GBT voice is literally like having your own Jarvis. Whether you're in front of your computer or across the country like I was the past couple of days, you can ramble hands-free and natural language and the desktop version of chat GBT will literally just control itself. It'll do anything on your computer that any skill the human could do, but you don't have to be there doing any of it. And I really put this through its paces yesterday as I took about an hour long walk in controlling my home computer through my iPhone. And my computer at home was creating documents using other desktop programs like Cloud of Code, organizing my cloud storage, triaging emails and drafting replies and planning this very show by transcribing YouTube reviews and say bookmarks that I just didn't have time to get to creating images, all that stuff. I just gave commands and the work was just done. So obviously, OpenAI can't call this thing Jarvis mode, but you can see how that that might be a more fitting description than the moniker of chat GBT voice. But I will say this, I've used literally thousands of AI tools and features over the past four years of doing every day AI and chat GBT voice has instantly become the number one most useful ever. So what is this chat GBT voice thing and why is it so special and why haven't you used it yet? Well, we'll break all those down as we put AI to work on Wednesdays on every day AI. All right, here is the big picture. Chat GBT voice became an agent management interface. So this just came out and has been in a full week since OpenAI announced it and it lives inside of the desktop version of chat GBT work in codex, which is the same thing. By the way, so chat GBT voice is powered by the new GBT live model, a little confusing, but we'll break it down in that somewhat confusing rollout, I think made for this being the undisputed most criminally under hyped release in AI ever. Right? Sometimes you see these like little releases come out and everyone's talking about it like, oh my gosh, this thing's gonna, you know, break how we all work. It's gonna take away all these jobs. Can you do all these things? Right? Chat GBT voice, I don't think people are talking about it, right? I'm very ears to the ground. What it comes to these kind of things and people should be talking about this and using this more than that's why we're gonna be going over it on today's show. So stick with me for the next 25-ish minutes and here's what you'll learn. You're gonna know how the ordinary voice mode differs from the new chat GBT voice launched inside work or codex. You're gonna know which evidence and approval rules that you need to keep authoritative sounding updates accountable because you can't just trust the voice and never go back to it. And I'm gonna give you the seven advanced chat GBT voice uses that you're gonna want to start using and apply to your workflows immediately. Let's get into it. Welcome to every day AI. My name's Jordan Moulson and well, this thing's for you. This is your daily live stream podcast and free daily newsletter, hubby everyday business leaders like you and me not just keep up with AI, but how you can use all of these updates. I tell you what matters. You go put it to work. Grow your company and your career. So please if you haven't already subscribed to the podcast on Apple podcast or Spotify and make sure you go to our website at your everyday AI.com. We're gonna be not only highlighting the big takeaways from today's show, but also giving you all of the other AI news. You need to know to stay ahead. All right. So let's get into it. So on Wednesdays, we put AI to work on Wednesday. So the latter half of this will be kind of demo based. So FYI, if you do want to see the video version of this, it will obviously be somewhat visual because if everything goes correctly, which for an unedited unscripted demo of a super smart AI, taking over my computer, who knows what could go wrong, right? But you can always catch the video version of this on our website at your everyday AI.com or on LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, machines, all right. But let's first start with the two basic settings that you have to understand. It's kind of setting slash, you know, getting your mindset right on what's named what. And this is important because there's a lot of confusion on this because most people are like, okay, well, yeah, chat you get a voice. I know it's it's not new, right? I can just I've been able to talk to chat GPT for a while. So yes and no, I essentially want to take you through four different phases or buckets of using your voice to interact with chat GPT. All right. So number one dictation. That's been around for a very long time. Literally, some people think that that's what this is. That's not. So dictation, right? You can click the little microphone button on the chat GPT interface and it will you can talk and it's just going to turn your speech into text. That's dictation. That's not what we're talking about. Then there's the old voice mode, which was technically called advanced voice mode. There was a different voice mode before that. All right. But that was more of the walkie talkie, right? That's the turn by turn conversation mode. So that was what, you know, a month ago, that's what open AI head. That's what Claude has today. Nothing wrong with that. But that's not what we really want out of a voice mode. What we want is well, the actual engine driving this and that is GPT live. So that is what is called this kind of full duplex voice mode. So that means, and you'll see an example of this, the voice mode GPT live can talk and listen at the same time. It can as it's talking to you, it's using another model in the background to call tools, look up information on the internet. You know, maybe it's running a little bit of code to give you an answer to something that's not as easy to find as you might think. All right. So that's that natural, interruptible conversation. It's just like talking with a real human, but not like walkie talkie style. Right. So not to be confused, but that's not what we're talking about here. Right. That came out two weeks ago. And maybe you've already used that and it's really good. This is different. This is chat GPT voice. So this is essentially that voice model, that full duplexed GPT live voice model that has been available in chat GPT for about, you know, two or three weeks now. Now that lives inside of chat GPT work or codex. So this is the the version that you download on your computer. So there is no chat GPT voice when you go to chat GPT.com. I know that's confusing. That's going to be using the GPT live. So chat GPT voice is available on the desktop version. All right. And that's kind of where you're the thing that's Jarvis mode, right, where it can literally access all of your data. It can use your computer. It can do literally anything that a human sitting down in front of your computer can't. Whereas, you know, the normal GPT live, the new smarter thing. It's cool to chat with, right. But it's not going to actually do your work. Now we all finally have a super smart, you know, co-worker sitting down that we can literally just talk to like a real person. All right. So that's kind of the the iteration of the different types of voice inside of chat GPT. All right. So basic setting number two, which I kind of talked about it. So chat GPT voice itself is just the GPT live model plus bringing in this agentic execution layer. So aside from it being able to actually complete work for you, which the GPT live can't really do at least not fully, right. The difference here is it has access to all of your data and connectors, which GPT live doesn't, right. So that's the one thing that is missing from GPT live that I was using it, right. If you want to say, hey, check my email or if you have some MCP servers connected inside of chat GPT, you know, it can't access those. It can you can upload a file to GPT live and it will be able to go through and talk about that file, but it can't access all of your dynamic data. As an example, I probably have not a ton right because my tech stack is not super fat, but I probably have at least 30 different either connectors or MCPs. So now with chat GPT voice on the desktop version of chat GPT work or codex, I can instantly talk and grab data from any of those, but also I can output or have the agent output work for me, but I can just command it all via Jarvis mode, right. So here's how it works. All right. You the the chat GPT voice can listen, it can speak and coordinate all at the same time and actually do your work. All right. So there is a little button, right. So if you hover over it, it just says start voice chat. So not to be confused with the button on the left, which is just the microphone button, which is the dictate button. Alright, so you're going to start a voice chat in this little orb. Alright, this
a little chat GPT or I don't know if there's an official name for it. I just call it the, you know, you can call it the voice visualization or just the orb. So I'm just going to call the orb. Alright, so that's when this kind of chat GPT voice mode is working. So also a little confusing. That's the same orb that comes on if you're just using GPT live inside of chat GPT.com. Alright, so you just got to be using this if you're trying to follow along at home, which I encourage you to do. You know, make sure you're obviously using the desktop version of chat GPT work or codex, which again, a little confusing is the exact same app. There's just a drop down at the top because people are always like, wait, I don't have codex. Yes, you do. It's chat GPT work and people are like, I don't have chat GPT work. And it's like, yes, you do. It's codex. It's the same thing. Alright, so you have to be doing this inside of that download, downloadable program on your computer. And well, it's just neural. It's going to be able to listen and run these models in the background and literally do anything that you can do on your computer. So there's multiple layers. And kind of the biggest differentiator that I think versus chat GPT voice in GPT live, the voice layer just talks. Now we have this new layer that we're combining it with all of the capabilities of codex is it just is going to work. Right. It's going to execute your work for you. And just for ease of not saying the wrong thing too many times from here on out, I'm just going to say codex. Alright. But it's the same thing as chat GPT work. Right. But there's too many chat GPT's flying around. So I'm just going to say codex. Right. That is the version that you download and run on your computer. Alright. So let's quickly go into the seven advanced chat GPT voice uses. And then we're going to go straight into the demo. And hopefully it all works. But I'm going to be doing some of these advanced use cases as we go along. These are also kind of best practices as well. So number one, and this is a difference in how these threads work. So you cannot go and pick up an old thread and start a new chat GPT voice conversation in there. Alright. You can't do it. Unfortunately, that would be great if you could. Instead, you are going to start a new chat. Okay. So whether that's inside of a current project, or if you just go down and start a new chat, that's not attached to a project. So you can start any new chat by just clicking the start new voice chat button. And that's how you start. But here's the thing. Right. It knows everything. And it controls everything. Alright. And that is just I can't emphasize how big that is. Right. I've done this many times. I've done live demos of it. I just checked again. Right. Code. Let's let's talk about Claude code. Right. Claude code doesn't know anything within what's happening under its own roof. Right. Unless it just happens to commit something to its memory, which it just does that haphazardly. Otherwise, it knows nothing. Right. So all of those conversations, you know, let's just say that you're talking about Claude covert. Right. All of those conversations, unless it just commits something to memory, which, you know, maybe it does one to 2% of the content in there. If you start a new chat, it knows absolutely nothing, which makes something like Claude desktop, in my opinion, extremely useless. Right. That's why I don't really use it. I mean, I use it to audit things that I build inside codex. Right. But the big thing with this new voice mode is it can understand any thread anywhere. Alright. So you can direct it to pay go look in this project. Right. Find this project folder. So it can research any thread, see what was done. Understand it. It can send a message to any of those threads. So it is just absolutely crazy how a voice mode, because the old advanced voice mode couldn't do that. Right. Now you can't. And this is again, combining the power of codex with this technology. Right. So I'll just walk you through how I was using this on my walk this morning. I know the name of most of my projects inside codex. And I just said, hey, walk me through every single major thread in these project folders, one by one at the end. Give me a brief update. And what next steps may be, if you're not sure of a next steps, just one for me, based on what you know about me, what's in my agents MD file for that folder or for codex in general. So it knows my overarching goals and it knows the project goals. And then it's going to go in there. It's going to look at all that context and then just make me make decisions. This is why I think on my walk, sorry, yesterday, I was more productive in that one hour on my phone, just talking in my AirPods, then I would have been probably three or four hours doing the exact same thing in front of my computer. I talk about this all the time. Are you still running in circles trying to figure out how to actually grow your business with AI? Maybe your company has been tinkering with large language models for a year or more, but can't really get traction to find ROI on Jenna AI. Hey, this is Jordan Wilson, host of this very podcast. Companies like Adobe Microsoft and Nvidia have partnered with us because they trust our expertise in educating the masses around generative AI to get ahead. And some of the most innovative companies in the country hire us to help with their AI strategy and to train hundreds of their employees on how to use Jenna AI. So whether you're looking for chat, GPT training for thousands or just need help building your front end AI strategy, you can partner with us too, just like some of the biggest companies in the world do. Go to your everydayai.com/partner to get in contact with our team or you can just click on the partner section of our website. We'll help you stop running in those AI circles and help get your team ahead and build a straight path to ROI on Jenna AI. The internet is made to distract you, right? And even for me, it can be distracting working in codex, right? Because I have all my browser tabs open inside codex. So something about just the combination of rambling and being able to control any of these threads and just having that real focused time, I have so much done, right? And in that one hour walk. But anyways, kind of advanced tip number one is know that you can with your voice, any new chat can understand, read, write, and do anything to any thread. So it doesn't really matter. For me, from an organizational perspective, I would really like to just be able to go into a certain thread and pick it up from there, right? I have all these chief of staff threads inside of each project folder. That would be preferable for me because I like things to be a little organized, right? And then you have this chat that's down there in your recent. But overall, it's okay because when it does make changes, it will actually go in there and send a message in those chats. So it's not like it gets lost. And I do have another advanced tip later that can help with us. All right. So, uh, number two, GPT live can't use connectors and codex with chat GPT live can. So I already referenced this, but this is huge because GPT live by itself, it's great. Right? It's more of, I think, an advanced party trick that I do hope. And I know the team has alluded to this online that they are going to eventually bring connectors to GPT live. But at least for me and how I want to use, you know, chat GPT, I need it to be connected to those, you know, 30 or so, you know, connected integrations and MCP servers, right? If not, it's just, you know, a better way to browse the internet, which is fine, right? But I really want to use this to get work done. And that is why this combination inside codex is amazing. And I don't know why I literally didn't see anyone talk about this or reference this, right? I, you know, I follow the the chatter and, you know, I've watched a couple videos of people giving their opinions on this. And no one is mentioning this, right? This is the biggest unlock right there. To be able to go and go through your entire inbox, to go through your, you know, everything in Slack and to be able to talk about it and just say, yes, send this, yes, draft this. No, save that to my Google Drive, right? Just to be able to go through all those things, it's this is what people have been wanting for so long. This is the Jarvis, right? Hey, what's important? Go look in all of, you know, go look in my, in my CRM, go look in my, I don't know, ERP, alphabet soup, whatever you want to say, my, my, my drive, my linear, whatever programs you're using that are connected inside codex. Go through all those triage those, ask me what you want, you know, what are the most important decisions I need to make? And if you have read, write, access, right? You can just start making those decisions and codex and actually just go do the work in those programs for you. All right, so that's number two. Connectors is a big unlock. All right, number three, you can schedule, right? The same way that you would inside of chat GPD. So yeah, this is another one of those things that you can't overlook just that you're using voice mode. You can't overlook just the normal power of chat GPD, right? So one of the things, if you use chat GPD online or the chat GPD work online is you can
have repeatable tasks. So even when you're talking, right, I did this a couple of times. I'm like, ah, I'm gonna keep missing this thing, right? So, I said, hey, every Monday at 7 a.m., you know, run this task. This thing that we just did together that, you know, me and Chechy-P-T just collaborated on via this Chechy-P-T voice, that he said, run, you know, every Monday morning or every Friday afternoon or, you know, every day at 4 p.m., this, what we just did, let's turn that into a skill and then let's have this be a schedule run. So another big thing. So, you know, as an example, maybe every single day, you wanna go and through and see any new lead that's come in via HubSpot, you want to enrich that data with clay and then, you know, use the condo MCP, that's one I use to help manage my LinkedIn messages to see if you have a LinkedIn connection with those people, right? So you can literally do that all via voice first. It's gonna learn how to do it all and then you can say, turn that into a skill, run that every single day at 9 a.m., and then you can literally, once it's done, go and talk and be like, hey, what happened here, right? That process right there as an example, going into your HubSpot, seeing who's new, going in and enriching all that in clay, and then, you know, seeing which of these people, right? Especially if you're in B2B enterprise sales or SaaS, sales, right? You know, and you have a big LinkedIn network, you know, like I do. That's something that takes a lot of time to do all those things manually, right? That might be every single day. I don't know if you're an SDR, BDR, that might be a third of your day. It can be done for you, right? Set it up once and ShatchyPtVoy, set it up as a schedule, and then every day you can also be like, hey, check in, walk me through, give me a game plan on this, and you know, in a 10 minute, ShatchyPtVoy's conversation, you've already done what would have normally taken you three hours and 10 minutes. All right, let's go next. Number four, stack multiple tasks at once. Yeah, you don't just have to give one. You can just kind of ramble on and just keep giving more and more assignments. You know, as you are going back and forth, remember, sometimes ShatchyPt will interrupt you, you can interrupt it, which is actually fine, 'cause that's how a normal conversation goes, right? Normal business conversation, sometimes you just interrupt each other, right? You might not do that in a big business meeting or if you're meeting with the press and other company, but if you're working with colleagues or people on your team, you probably interrupt each other all the time, because if you see someone's going down the wrong path, you don't necessarily want to give them 30 seconds or three minutes to keep going down that path. You're like, "Oh, no, no, wait, hold up." That's not what I was talking about. Let's rewind a little bit, right? You can do the exact same thing, but also just stack those multiple tasks and the voice will just only return when it needs more information from you or when it has updates. All right, the big unlock here, use your iPhone. My gosh, but it's a little tricky because remember, all right? Codex doesn't have an app. It is in the chat GPT app. So confusing part here. If you go into the chat GPT app and you're looking for that little button, I told you to push, that's just gonna launch GPT live, which is not what you want. So you're gonna go onto your iPhone, you're gonna click remote, then at the bottom of the screen, you're gonna click that button to start a chat GPT voice, all right, so don't just open your chat GPT app on your iPhone and click the voice chat button. You need to first click remote because that's essentially then at that point, and this is what I was doing today, that's how you are literally on the phone, right? For me, quite literally hands-free. I had an AirPods, you know, one AirPods in my ear, and I was literally controlling my entire computer working on multiple projects, right? Going through all those folders and it was downloading, uploading, opening programs, changing things, doing the things that I would normally be doing, doing it all hands-free, just giving, you know, my Jarvis instructions, all right? All right, number six, a spoken update is not proof, all right? And I talked about this earlier, you should require a durable artifact. What does that mean? All right, when you go back, especially, right? And this is something I really found yesterday morning, I was looking back through the transcript of what I said, and I'm like, wait, how did we get this done, right? 'Cause sometimes all you get is what you said and what Chad's you could be said. So, you know, one thing I would encourage you to do in this voice conversation, or, you know, you can leave this in your agents and defile inside of any project folder is just say, hey, always require written evidence when you're done, right? Or, you know, build a, you know, in outline every single time that you complete a task, you know, make sure you outline what was done, or maybe you have a folder, a file, you know, whether it's locally, et cetera, every time you, you know, complete a run, complete a task, complete a project, upload this file and say exactly what was changed, what was done, where the file location is, et cetera. That's huge, you always need written evidence because yeah, it's nice to be able to just flow with voice mode, but sometimes you need that data, you need that data, right? Maybe you want it in a markdown file, maybe you want to upload it to your Google Drive, maybe you just want it in line in the thread inside codex, right, as a bullet point, but you need that written proof. And then last but not least, and this one's really cool, another one that I haven't seen many people mention, but there's literally on the desktop version, if you click that little orb, you can drag it, all right? And you don't even have to have codex kind of active or open on your screen. This is one thing I'll hope I'll be able to kind of demo, but all you have to do is pull the little orb away, right? Which it's kind of hidden, right? You don't even know that you can do it. A lot of times, right? One thing I do when there's new features, I just click around, because OpenAI is known for hiding little fun Easter eggs, if you're talking about like codex, pets or anything like that. But yeah, I just clicked and I was like, huh, you can drag this thing, right? And then I saw maybe one or two other people mention this, but yeah, for the most part, you can just have that little orb just chill on your desktop and you have this omnipresent agent that's just going to chill. It's going to do absolutely nothing until you tell it to, right? So one little, I guess not cheat code, but best practice for this, especially, right? I like to listen to music a lot and you can't really do that because it's listening for any word, right? So I will just have an air pod in listening to music. And then on my Mac, I just, you know, sent the output to my air pod so I could still listen to music or be on a call with a colleague, right? Something like that. And then I can still, you know, I can still mute the mic, but if it's just me in front of my computer, that's all I really need to do. I can listen to my music in an air pod and use my computer microphone to then talk to the orb, right? That sounds weird talking to an orb. All right, but it just allows you to have that omnipresent agent. All right, my gosh, what could go wrong? Here we go. Let's go live. I'm not, I'm not going to lie. Sometimes, especially because I have a lot of more kind of private, you know, personal private information in my codex, you know, sometimes when I'm like, oh, I got to share my entire codex. I'm, you know, sweat and bullies a little bit, but I always want you guys to see, you know, see how this goes live and kind of see how it works. All right, let's try this live stream audience. If you could, let me know if you can see my screen. All right, and hopefully we'll be able to hear the audio as well. So as a reminder, this is the, and yeah, if you do want to see the video version of this, if you're listening on the podcast in the show notes, there's always a link to the episode page on our website. You can go watch the video version. So just skip to, you know, I don't know, about 26 minutes or so. Okay, so at the bottom here, you'll see, there's a normal microphone. Don't click that. That is the dictation. The other one is to start a new voice chat. All right, so let's just go ahead. I'm going to go to make this an unattached chat thread. And then I'm just going to riff a little bit here, all right. So if you hear me talking, I might hit the pause, the mute button so I can keep talking to you all and explain what's going on, but otherwise assume that I'm just talking from here on out to chat, GBT. So let's get it going. I'm going to actually work on a project that I wanted to do because I put a lot of work into a recent speech that I did. And there are some things that happened in there that I'm like, huh, I should probably pull that and do something more with that speech that I did. So let's go ahead and get started here. [ Pause ] Goddle of the live demos. I've literally never seen this screen come up before where it said voice chat couldn't start. Oh, that's funny. All right, let's try it again. [ Pause ] Hey. Okay. What would you like to try again? All right, cool. No, so can you look, it's maybe in my downloads folder, but maybe from like two or three weeks ago, I did this presentation for a firm and there's probably like a PowerPoint. It was about chat, GBT work. Let me know if you can find it. I'll check your recent presentation files for that. All right, so chat, GBT work PowerPoint in your downloads, so you can open it from the file card on your screen.
Oh, cool. Great. So can you just kind of go through and bullet point what I talked about and what I didn't? And then while you're doing that, can you also open Chrome and then go to YouTube and find the live stream that open AI did a couple of weeks ago for the chat GPT work announcement. It's probably like two weeks ago or so. And then copy that link from that open AI live stream and then use computer use and open up an app on my computer. It's called parit. It's an app that I built and then I want you to take that YouTube URL from the open AI live stream. And I want you to paste it into parit and create transcription. And I want you to look at that transcription, which will tell you, you know, what they talked about in that 30 or so minute live stream. And essentially, I want you to look and find what I did not cover in my affirm presentation that was covered in the open AI live stream. So just take, take your time and start working on that. I'll get started on that. I'm comparing your firm deck with the open AI work launch stream now using Chrome and parit for the transcript. All right. So I just put this on mute so you'll probably still hear chat GPT. Oh, so mute. All right. There we go. I think I think I'm on mute now. I'm not. I have no clue what's going on. Okay. That's that's weird. Another time. This it's showing the transcript here, but obviously I'm talking to the live stream audience now. Not chat GPT, even though it's still transcribing. So, hey chat, are you still listening to this? Okay. Interesting. Love, love doing these, love doing these, these live streams here. I always run through and do the demo and then I always get these weird things that that happened that didn't happen before. So it was muted, but it was still dictating what I was saying, which didn't happen in all of my testing. Anyways. So let me explain what I did and what's happening now because it's already opened up this program that I created called parit. All right. Just as awesome program that I, you know, built up over the past, how are long. So I told it go find this presentation I did two weeks ago. I don't remember what was in it because I literally had to build it like rebuild it the night before because it was right when opening I announced chat GPT work. And I didn't remember if I got everything from the live stream into that presentation and I thought that maybe at some point I'll do an entirely new course or something like that on codex or chat GPT work. So I'm like, well, I put together a lot of work in this presentation and I thought it was pretty good, but there's probably some things I didn't get to. So what's already happened is codex went in or chat GPT voice inside codex went in it opened up this program that I built it grabbed the URL and it went in and pasted it. It looks like it has the transcript up and we'll see what's what's happening here. The parent transcript is captured so I could ground this and let they actually covered here's a quick take your deck focused on the desktop agent and agents and D workflow. The stream emphasized connected workflows and shareable outcomes those connectors across Slack calendar and Excel to PowerPoint. Can you maybe just give me, can you maybe just give me bullet points in cover. Can you maybe just give me bullet points of the biggest things that I did not cover in my affirm presentation that was in the live stream. Sure. The biggest thing was you didn't cover work connected work across tools like Slack, Gmail and calendar and finance workflows like Excel to PowerPoint reporting. Interactive sites for dashboards or internal tools starting tasks on mobile. That's a good point. I think that there was a new update couple like maybe it was Thursday, but I don't even think opening I put new thing on their website about it. It was something in sites. So see if you can look up maybe their change long for codex or sorry for sites. I think it was something about there's some new analytics. Can you look that piece up. Can you check that also look in my transcripts for your every day I because I you know every Friday and Monday we go over kind of like new features and new updates. So can you just check this the last weeks shows because I think there were a couple other codex updates in there. So you can just you know open that up or I think there's a folder on my desktop if you want to earn out my desktop maybe in documents if you want to use computer use or you can just go to our website and look at the transcript there. Because sometimes they only update their kind of change log like once a week. So we obviously put out shows, you know, every day. So just go specifically on sites. I want you to get more information on that. Got it. I'll check the official notes the sites docs and your recent transcripts for anything sites specific. Okay, and while you're doing that or maybe first can you just create a very simple document and then just download it and save it to my computer that just shows kind of what I talked about in the affirm presentation and then what I did not cover. Just kind of download that to my computer but also save it to my Google Drive just so I have it and then you know name it so it's easy for me to see and understand what's in there too. Got it. I'll put that together and save it both places. Okay, so I realized what I did wrong now guys earlier when I'm like wait, I it's still catching me speak even no that was a human error. I accidentally turned off the speaker instead of the microphone. So that was my fault. So right now I have both muted. So you know, chat GBT still talking to me, but it's not super important. You know, essentially I just wanted to show you those capabilities because what just happened even though I kind of fumbled through that demo quite a little bit. Right, this is something I was going to do because I knew I put together like I said a lot of good information from this affirm presentation just going over some of the features, you know, I had some good visuals and good content all that stuff. Right, so why would I start from scratch, but I knew that there is new things that needed to be updated. I didn't have 35 minutes to go rewatch the you know, chat GBT live stream. So I just had it literally use its built in browser go find the YouTube channel for opening I find that live stream take that link it opened up a program that it wasn't even pinned to my desktop. So it just found it. It opened up the program that I built the transcribed it and then it compared kind of everything that was in that PowerPoint that it opened in its file browser to the transcript from the opening on live stream. So right now it's putting it together and it's already just told me that it's put that document together and it's done. So that's good and it also said to confirm the missing sites update. So I do want to show maybe one or two other things quick. So I'm going to start a new voice chat and here we go. So you use the B hive MCP and look at my poll from yesterday and tell me what the results from the poll were. Yeah, I'll check yesterday's B hive poll results quickly. All right, so I just muted chat, but what I'm showing for our live stream audience here is I'm actually minimizing I'm going to minimize codex here and you'll see here kind of this little orb floating around on my desktop. Open AI's new Jarvis live mode is leading with 32. Claude Opus 5 hands on has 21 and 6 people picked other. Okay, could you just start that over I missed the beginning. Sure. Yesterday's AI working Wednesday's poll has 59 votes open AI's mood Jarvis live mode is leading with 32. Cool, can you tell me what my open rate was yesterday or sorry on Monday July 27th versus the Monday before that I just want to see kind of what the open rates were over those last ones. Okay, I'll pull up both Mondays and compare them. what I'm doing right now, I just muted both is, well, I got rid of codex and now.
I just have this little floating orb here, right? So I'm dragging it around my screen. I can put it literally anywhere. It's showing me, even though I haven't muted, what the open rate was. It says this yesterday or two days ago, it was about 55% and the money before it was 58%. That's still because, you know, opens keep trailing in a couple of days after. So pretty cool. You can see right there. Some of the basic things. So I went through showing you multiple tasks at once kind of stacking those using different connectors and MCPs, right? I used my, you know, Google Drive that's a connector. I used an MCP, which is a model context protocol for my newsletter because it doesn't have an official chat GPT connector. I, you know, did things like browsing the web, you know, pulling, you know, opening other programs on my computer. And, you know, it was clicking around, you know, probably saw it happen very quickly because computer uses very fast inside GPT 56 sold. So that's a wrap for the demo portion. It didn't go too bad, right? Maybe we'll see how this actually turns out. Hopefully it recorded all that audio. But here's the takeaway. This is a completely new way to work, right? In almost a new way to think about work, right? Because even before, right? Honestly, like even just 10 days ago before this update came out, for the most part, when I wanted to be the most productive, I was still sitting in my chair and, you know, clicking around, right? Which is not bad necessarily, right? But distraction overwhelm. And sometimes what I found is when you're not actually looking at a screen and when you're able to just kind of ramble in YAP, right? Sometimes you get much better results because you can communicate things sometimes in a much clearer way. Because sometimes, especially if you're typing, right? Not everyone can, you know, especially if you work in an open office, you can't always ramble, right? Or if you're working on something private, maybe you work at home and you can't, you know, talk about certain things, you know, with other people around. This is something that for me, I'm not saying I've struggled to adjust how to work. But I've had to rethink what it means to work, right? And I had a great day working, right? I had a great day working yesterday. When I, like I said, took an hour walk and it was not only being able to get outside and touch grass here in Chicago, but I actually think that I got a lot more done in that one hour than I would have gotten done two or three hours doing something very similar using codecs or even Cheshire BT voice in front of my computer with all my screens. Because it's distraction and then I would have said, "Oh, I have to go do all these other things," right? So it is definitely the new Cheshire BT voice is like having a Jarvis. And at least for me, I'm even though I've been codex-pilled since the day it came out. Sometimes I still find myself still doing some of the work, right? And this has been a refreshing change in that because I'm actually just using my brain and thinking a little bit more, trying to think more strategically and creatively, and being able to communicate things in a different way, and being able to describe all the nuance, and having Cheshire BT voice sometimes poke holes in my plan. So it's been for me a lot more talking and iterating, and working through my voice, which for me is really easy, and maybe it will be for you. But I hope this episode was helpful. Maybe this won't be for you, but there's a good chance that using the new Cheshire BT voice could be the biggest paradigm shift in how you've worked since maybe Cheshire BT came out or even more so than that.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
ChatGPT Voice, integrated into the desktop app ChatGPT Work/Codex, is described as a "Jarvis mode" that can execute tasks on a computer hands-free via natural language.
It differs from older features
ChatGPT Voice combines GPT Live with agentic execution, allowing access to connectors, MCPs, and all data, enabling real work like email triage, document creation, and file organization.
It can control any thread in Codex, reading, writing, and sending messages across projects, making it more powerful than tools like Claude Code.
Users can schedule recurring tasks via voice, turning collaborative actions into automated skills.
The host tested it during an hour-long walk, controlling his home computer from his iPhone, and found it more productive than 3-4 hours of manual work.
The release is "criminally under-hyped" despite being a major shift in work thinking, not just a minor update.
Summary:
The podcast episode highlights ChatGPT Voice, a new feature in the desktop app ChatGPT Work/Codex, which the host calls a "Jarvis mode" and the most useful AI tool he has ever used. Unlike older voice features—dictation, advanced voice mode, or the newer GPT Live—ChatGPT Voice combines full-duplex conversation with agentic execution. It can listen, speak, and coordinate tasks simultaneously, controlling a computer to create documents, organize cloud storage, triage emails, plan shows, and more, all through natural language commands.
The host tested it during an hour-long walk, remotely controlling his home computer via his iPhone, and accomplished more than he would in hours at his desk. Key differentiators include access to connectors and MCPs (which GPT Live lacks), the ability to understand and interact with any thread across Codex projects, and the option to schedule recurring tasks via voice. The host provides seven advanced use cases, emphasizing that users must start new chats for voice mode, leverage connectors for real work, and use scheduling to automate workflows.
He criticizes the lack of hype around this release, urging listeners to adopt it for career and business growth. The episode includes a demo and practical advice, positioning ChatGPT Voice as a transformative tool that changes how work is approached, not just executed.
