Using Codex via the ChapGPT mobile app while out and about this weekend. It’s controlling Codex on a Mac Mini, which is building a native iPhone app. I’m just texting it feedback and it’s sending me fresh TestFlight builds. Wild times!

I honestly think ChatGPT Voice is one of the most important technology advancements of our lives The complete unhobbling of AI It’s also the biggest transformation of the UX of doing work since the keyboard Ambient AI. Walk around. Enjoy your life. Say things you want out loud. They just appear It’s clear whatever hardware OpenAI/Jony Ive releases later this year will be an extension of this. I don’t see how it can’t It takes away basically ALL the friction of creating things. It’s the fastest possible way to go from idea in your head to actual thing that exists It also completely frees you from the shackles of your desk/office/home. You can now create anything you want ANYWHERE in the world If you weren’t familiar: this isn’t just voice dictation. The Voice agent controls EVERYTHING on ALL of your devices. It also can control and create new threads and delegate to other agents. 10000x more powerful and functional than regular voice dictation There are some things in life that just become incredibly obvious they are the future of everything the first time you use them. This is one of them. I’m not going to stop raving about this until you actually use it and feel what I’ve felt the last few days How I’d get started if I was using Voice the first time: 1. Update your mobile and desktop apps 2. Make sure they’re connected (in the connection settings of ChatGPT) 3. Go on a walk outside (a beautiful 80 and sunny today in Palo Alto) 4. Go to ‘remote’ in the mobile chatGPT app 5. Hit the Voice button in the bottom right 6. Start saying your thoughts out loud. Anything. Your goals, interests, hobbies, career, describe it all 7. Ask what ChatGPT could build to help you 8. Say ‘ok spin up new threads to build those things’ 9. Keep walking. Get an oat milk latte 10. When more ideas come to you, just say them out loud 11. Feel the AGI

@paulljump @VaclavGraf could be now

@blakesamic @VaclavGraf how long before the receiver is also an ai?

one level-up is to set your agent up with it’s own email account [0] so it can reach out to people/businesses for you. with the combination of a goal, search, browser-use, ability to email and monitor an inbox, it can accomplish a lot! [0] one way to do this is to create a new gmail account specifically for your agent, and connect it to chatgpt

@VaclavGraf both would work. i prefer a separate account because it looks better on the receiver’s end.

@blakesamic Would you set up a new Gmail or just a "+driver" hack?

@paulljump very claw-like in many ways

@blakesamic is this like a claw for normies?

a helpful mental framing for chatgpt “work” mode is “i’m putting chatgpt to work for me”. it’s helpful for so many things, not just when you’re at work. think “if i had an actual assistant working for me all the time, what might i have them do?”. then think bigger.

I don’t think you understand what ChatGPT Voice unlocks I went on a 4 hour hike yesterday. Through the northern California redwoods. Got more work done in those 4 hours talking to Voice through my AirPods then I do in 8 hours at my desk Work can be done ANYWHERE now 45 minute drive back using self driving? Now 45 minutes I can talk to Voice and work on side projects 20 minutes in the cafe? I can sit and talk to Voice and when I get home I have drafts on my computer for my newsletter for the next month Being able to just use your voice to talk to a super intelligence that controls your computer is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before I don’t even care that the voice sounds human like, or you can interrupt it, or any of the wild advancements they made to the tech It’s the fact that it can control my computer, meaning all I need to get incredible work done is talk through my AirPods anywhere in the world that is the major game changer for me I don’t think people truly understand the implications of this yet Why even have a desk or monitor anymore. Work can be done ANYWHERE now The key is your set up: 1. Choose one device (preferably an always on desktop) as your main “headquarters” device all your work gets done on 2. Get the ChatGPT app on all your other devices (iPhone, iPad, laptops, Mac Minis) 3. Set up ‘connections’ in your settings so that all your ‘node’ devices can control your ‘headquarters’ device 4. Go legit anywhere in the world. Turn on Voice. Ask it to brief you on your projects, give you a recommended next step, then spin up new threads to do work I really don’t think work looks the same moving forward.

chatgpt work is remarkable, and "work" undersells it. from my phone i sent: "use all my chat history to figure out ideas for a long weekend trip with 8 friends, plan the best three options, make a full-stack site where the 9 of us can coordinate on what we would want to do in each place and decide where to go, and then after we get to group agreement make reservations. draft an email in my gmail i can send out to my friends when the site is ready." it...just worked.

@DanielleMorrill 💯

TikTok and Instagram not making favorite and saved posts / collections available programmatically makes me so sad. The things we could build! And they’re not building any of it

@ForwardEditor I had a terrible headache today and couldn’t sit in front of my Mac and work productively. So I turned on voice mode, lay down in bed with my eyes closed, and kept working just by talking to it. Feels like magic!

I asked @ChatGPTapp to sync the @work_louder micro to spotify album art colors

ChatGPT Voice is now available on Desktop in Work and Codex! And your Codex Micro is already fully compatible with it. It's never been easier to talk to your computer, launch and manage Codex tasks, and basically do anything with Codex. A truly feel AGI moment to me.

ChatGPT Voice is now in the desktop app. Control your computer and direct multiple agents running in ChatGPT Work or Codex, using just your voice. It's powered by GPT-Live, so it can speak, listen, and coordinate work in the app at the same time. Rolling out globally today on macOS and Windows to Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans.

@_andrewcann Yessss

@blakesamic I’d love to see these on a big flip dot display youtu.be/s94PscZJ5EE?

@MelisaSeah 🙏🏼

@blakesamic beautiful

excited to see what this is like projected on a wall soon 🌊

@sheherenow_ lots of different stuff, but currently into ANOTR, Kommode, Roosevelt, Fred again…, Boston Bun, Parcels

@blakesamic what do you like?

love a good unexpected music rec

@pzakin cool explorations - thanks for sharing!

@blakesamic core77.com/posts/17449/ID… from 2010, iirc an exploration of this and other ideas.

it’s great how you can get quick word definitions in ebooks. imagine if you could look up book-specific entities like characters and places, and it would give you info that only recaps what’s been shared up to that point in the book.
