ChatGPT Voice Mode Turns Your Voice Into a Chief of Staff for AI Agents
A creator's real-time demo of ChatGPT's new voice mode as an always-on dispatcher for AI agents across every device he owns.
July 27thThe argument in one line.
ChatGPT's voice mode is powerful less because of the voice model itself and more because it can orchestrate work across separate agent threads and devices, letting someone hand off an entire day's tasks out loud and check progress later instead of doing the work themselves.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- You already use ChatGPT or a similar AI assistant daily and want to offload more tasks without sitting at a keyboard.
- You run multiple projects or threads of work at once and want one voice interface to delegate across all of them.
- You're curious whether AI voice modes have moved past simple dictation into real task orchestration.
- You want a concrete daily routine for using voice AI instead of a vague 'talk to your AI more' suggestion.
SKIP IF…
- You don't have or want an always-on computer that other devices can remote into — several tips depend on that setup.
- You're looking for a Claude-specific voice workflow; this is a ChatGPT-only feature comparison.
The full version, fast.
ChatGPT's voice mode differs from Claude's and other AI voice tools because it can spin up separate agent threads for each task, monitor them across devices, and directly control a computer or browser — turning it into an orchestrator rather than a single-sandbox assistant. The video demonstrates a morning routine of giving voice a rundown request and several delegated tasks, each spun into its own thread on a stronger model while the voice layer stays lightweight. Eight habits follow: keep an always-on desktop other devices remote into, always delegate work to new threads instead of doing it in voice itself, plan the day's tasks on paper before going outside, have voice keep a running summary note, explicitly say 'computer use' or 'browser use' when control is needed, work from the desktop app's inbox-style activity view, keep voice open and unmuted throughout the day, and ask it more open questions than direct commands.

00:00 – 00:41
01 · Intro
States the core claim that ChatGPT voice is the year's most underrated AI feature and promises eight advanced tips for using it.
00:41 – 05:20
02 · Why ChatGPT Voice
Lists five reasons ChatGPT voice differs from Claude's voice mode and dictation tools: spinning up new threads/agents, visibility across other threads and devices, full computer and browser use, the most advanced real-time voice model, and high day-to-day usability.
05:20 – 10:36
03 · Basic ChatGPT Voice workflow
Live demo of a morning routine: asking voice for a rundown of yesterday's work, getting recommended next steps, then delegating three separate tasks that each spin up into their own thread on the stronger reasoning model.
10:36 – 12:43
04 · Setting up Remote
Tip 1 — keep one always-on desktop computer that every other device (phone, tablet, laptop) remotes into via ChatGPT's connection settings, so all projects live in one organized place.
12:43 – 14:33
05 · Orchestration model
Tip 2 — never let voice do work itself; always tell it to spin up a new thread or agent for the task, because the voice layer runs a lighter, less capable model than the dedicated thread model.
14:33 – 16:47
06 · Morning preparation
Tip 3 — write the day's tasks by hand on paper before heading outside, since it's easy to forget what to delegate once there's no screen to check.
16:47 – 19:00
07 · Summary notes
Tip 4 — ask voice to create and update a running summary note (via computer use, opened on the desktop) of everything done that day, so nothing gets lost when reviewing work later.
19:00 – 21:16
08 · Computer and browser use
Tip 5 — explicitly say 'use computer use' or 'use browser use' when a task needs direct app or browser control, since the assistant doesn't always choose the right mode on its own.
21:16 – 22:19
09 · Activity view
Tip 6 — switch the desktop app to its inbox-style activity/alerts view so items needing approval surface at the top instead of getting buried in a full task list.
22:19 – 23:43
10 · Using the widget
Tip 7 — keep the voice widget open and unmuted at the desk all day so any task that comes to mind can be spoken out loud immediately instead of typed later.
23:43 – 25:54
11 · Ask more questions
Tip 8 — ask voice open questions like 'what should we do next?' instead of only giving commands, then closes with a call to try the routine and join the creator's paid community.
Lines worth screenshotting.
- ChatGPT Voice can spin up a separate thread and agent for each task and monitor them all, while most AI voice tools only operate inside their own single sandboxed thread.
- The voice layer itself runs on a lighter model, so any real work should be delegated to a spun-up thread running the stronger model rather than done inside the voice conversation.
- ChatGPT's remote functionality lets the same voice session control a desktop computer from a phone, tablet, or laptop, so work started on a walk finishes on the machine back home.
- Routing all projects through one always-on desktop computer that other devices remote into keeps every file, document, and email in a single organized place instead of scattered across devices.
- Medium-level reasoning effort is recommended over the highest thinking tiers for delegated threads, on the claim that maximum thinking settings tend to overthink simple tasks.
- Writing the day's tasks by hand on paper before going outside solves the problem of forgetting what to delegate once there's no screen to reference.
- Asking voice to keep a running summary note (written to a note-taking app via computer use) turns a walk full of scattered voice commands into a reviewable log when back at the desk.
- Explicitly saying 'use computer use' or 'use browser use' matters because the assistant doesn't always pick the right control mode on its own.
- The desktop app's inbox-style activity view surfaces items awaiting approval at the top instead of burying them in a full list of every open thread and task.
- Keeping voice open and unmuted throughout the desk day turns ad hoc thoughts into delegated tasks the moment they occur, rather than requiring a deliberate switch to text.
- Asking voice open questions like 'what should we do next?' instead of only issuing commands reportedly produces better next-step suggestions and reduces the mental load of deciding what to do.
Delegate to threads, don't work inside voice itself.
WHAT TO LEARN
The value of an AI voice mode comes from spinning delegated work into separate agent threads it can monitor across devices, not from doing the work inside the voice conversation.
01Intro
- A voice AI that can spin up and monitor separate agent threads for each task can run more work in parallel than one confined to a single conversation.
02Why ChatGPT Voice
- The five differentiators worth checking in any AI voice tool are: multi-thread spawning, cross-thread/cross-device visibility, direct computer and browser control, real-time voice quality, and everyday usability.
03Basic ChatGPT Voice workflow
- A morning rundown request plus a short list of delegated tasks can kick off a full slate of work in under a minute of talking.
04Setting up Remote
- Route every device through one always-on computer so files, documents, and running work stay in a single organized place instead of scattered across machines.
05Orchestration model
- Never let a voice assistant do substantive work inside the voice conversation itself — explicitly delegate it to a new thread running a stronger model.
- Medium reasoning effort, not the maximum thinking tier, was found to produce better results for delegated tasks in this workflow.
06Morning preparation
- Write the day's tasks on paper before going screen-free, since it's easy to forget what to delegate once there's nothing to glance at.
07Summary notes
- Have the assistant maintain a running summary note of everything it did, so a scattered voice session becomes a reviewable log later.
08Computer and browser use
- State the control mode explicitly ('computer use' or 'browser use') rather than assuming the assistant will pick the right one.
09Activity view
- An inbox-style activity view that surfaces items needing approval at the top is more usable at a desk than a flat list of every open thread.
10Using the widget
- Keeping the voice interface open and unmuted throughout the day turns passing thoughts into delegated tasks immediately, without switching to typing.
11Ask more questions
- Asking open questions ('what should we do next?') instead of only issuing commands can produce better next-step suggestions and reduce the mental effort of deciding what to do.
Terms worth knowing.
- Orchestrator
- In this context, an AI assistant that delegates and monitors work happening in separate agent threads, rather than doing the work itself inside a single conversation.
- Spin up a thread
- A voice command telling the assistant to open a new, separate conversation/task for a specific piece of work, so it runs independently of the main voice session.
- Computer use
- An AI feature that lets the assistant directly control a computer's desktop applications, such as opening a note-taking app and typing into it.
- Browser use
- An AI feature that lets the assistant control a web browser directly, including logging into and navigating a site on the user's behalf.
- Activity view
- An inbox-style layout in the ChatGPT desktop app that surfaces the newest updates and items needing approval at the top, instead of a flat list of every thread.

ChatGBT voice is the single most important underrated feature in AI Lab as released this year. It has transformed how I work more than any other AI tool I've used.
I now work way less and barely at my desk anymore, but still get significantly more work done. In this video, I'll cover eight advanced tips for getting the absolute most out of ChatGBT voice.
If you stick with me into the end of this video, I personally guarantee you, you're gonna get way more work done in way less time and free yourself to do whatever the heck you want during the day. You wanna go outside. You can do whatever you want, and you'll still get amazing work done.
Now let's lock in get into it. So let's quickly start off why ChatGBT voice is so special, so much different than Claude's voice mode, and really just way more than a dictation tool like WhisperFlow or other tools.
Here are the five biggest reasons why it is completely differentiated from any other tool out there. And and by the way, before I get into this, I was the biggest, like, AI voice hater in the entire world before this. If you've ever watched any my livestreams, talk about how much I hate talking to AI.
I just like typing much more. This ChatGPT voice completely changed my mind. I am 100% voice pill now, and here is why.
Number one, and this is probably the most powerful reason of them all, it can spin up new threads and agents. Right after this, I'm gonna show you, like, a demo of my typical day to day workflow of using ChatGPT voice, how I talk with it, what it does. But the most powerful thing you can do is actually orchestrate orchestrate other other AI AI agents.
Agents. When When you you use use any any other other AI voice technology, it's just in its one thread.
You tell it to do something, it does in that thread. It doesn't work with any other AI agents. It kinda works in its own little sandbox mode.
Right? But ChadGPT voice, you can say, here are my five tasks for the day. Spin up a thread for each one of those tasks, and then monitor those threads and agents.
This allows you to do way more at once. It allows you to use the correct models for the correct tasks. It just allows you to get way more done in way less work.
With Claude Voice or any other AI voice agents out there, it's only in its sandbox. So it could only do one thing at a time. So you gotta sit there, tell what to do, listen on what how it went, and then you do things one by one by one.
But with Chad GBT voice, and this might seem subtle, but it's so so powerful, it does all its work in other threads. So you just here's my list of things to do.
Go spin up a thread for each thing, and it goes spins it up. It's okay. I'll you know when they're all done.
That is really, really amazing. You can also see across other threads and devices. Because ChadGBT has such great remote functionality and is across all your devices, you can go to ChadGBT voice, say spin this up on this device, go over here on this device, and do that.
It basically becomes like , which is so so powerful. Again, the subtle difference there is Claude Voice, the other voice tools, they're in their little sandbox.
If I go to Claude Voice and I say, hey. Can you check out what's going on in my email? If you go to Claude and you say something like, hey.
Go check out what we're doing in this other thread, what work we have done there, and then check out what we're doing in the email over here, then check out what we have spun up on my phone over there. It can't do that. It just has visibility into its one thread.
So, again, much like number one, this turns the voice mode much more into, like, where you can use it as a single point of contact to get work done across everywhere you work. Again, no other AI voice technology comes anywhere close to this.
And because it works across devices and has amazing remote functionality, this unlocks my favorite AI workflow of all time, which is the go outside and walk around with an AirPod in on your phone and just talk to voice and get work done, which we'll cover much more later in this video. Full computer use and browser use, so you can be on the go on your phone in full self drive mode on your Tesla or be walking around outside and say, hey.
Go on my computer, build this deck, then send an email out with the deck in it. Then you mute, you walk around, and it gets done by itself on your computer, which is really, really amazing.
So full control over your computers and your browsers. And just from a tech perspective, from, like, a pure voice model perspective, it's the most advanced voice model you can interrupt it. It can interrupt you.
It stops to listen what you say, and it understands pauses in your voice really well. It's just the most pleasant to talk to voice model. And then from a harness perspective, it's just very highly usable.
If you're on your computer, you can background it and just start talking whenever you want, and it'll listen. It'll wait for you and listen. If you're on the go, you can lock your phone, put it in your pocket, just start talking whenever you want.
It just very naturally blends into your life, which makes it so nice and pleasant to use. It really makes you think this is probably the future of AI, but we'll get more in time a little bit as well. So that's the basics.
This is what we covered in last week's video, but let's get more into the advanced functionality now. How to use it? How to get the most out of it?
If you master these eight tips I'm about to get you, your entire workflow with AI is gonna completely transform. So let's first go into a basic workflow. I'm going to show you live how I use ChadGBT voice when I wake up in the morning.
Everything I'm about to show you, I actually do on the go because, again, the remote functionality is so amazing. You can do this on your iPhone, on the go, walking around, and this will all happen on your desktop computer. But for the sake of demonstration, I'm going to do this on here on my Mac Studio so you can see what it's like just because I don't feel like taking a camera with me outside, to be quite honest.
I don't wanna be one of those dorky guys filming themselves walking around. So we're gonna do it here on my desktop. But this is my basic day to day workflow.
Once we go through this, just so you get a taste of how this works, a different mindset and strategies with using this new technology, then I'll go into the eight advanced tips that kinda tie into what I'm about to show you. So I wake up in the morning.
I open up the ChatGBT desktop app, and then I hit this little button down here.
You see this? There's two microphone buttons, which a little bit confusing, but that's fine. You have your dictate button, which is just the button you hit.
You talk, then it puts the text in there. But this is the chat GBT voice button. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hit that.
It's gonna open up our voice session. Then I'm just gonna show you how I start my day and how I work at chat GBT voice. Hey there, chat GBT voice.
Can you give me a rundown on all the work we did yesterday, where we stand, and what we should do for next steps? Let me pull up yesterday's work. So I'll mute my microphone right here because if you stop Here's the rundown.
Cut it off. Personal OS is live on the web with your two read only calendars, Henry,
tasks, and thumbnail campus.
You can move to previous Giving me a rundown of all the work I did yesterday across ChatGB and all my projects. And
the desktop app just wraps that web version. Also, the VCA build web across app all my different running and running my entire digital life like this.
Total No other voice tool can do this. Next steps. Try the dashboard in normal use.
Add your chosen VCA members to the private build lab. Run the eight member pilot,
and fix and package the desktop build only when you actually want to distribute a native version. It's giving me nice recommendations for next steps. This is something I love to do.
Ask it what it recommends we should do next. Alright. Now let's go back in and give it feedback on our status and what we wanna do next.
Alright. That sounds great. For personal OS, can we go in and make sure that we have our Henry OpenClaw agent actually attached in there and not just a general AI?
Can you spin up a new thread to get that done? For the school OS, can you go in and make sure and and actually build a plan around what this would look like if I add a second DJX Spark to the BuzzLab?
And then for the actual build build lab itself, can you spin up a new thread that comes up with an outline for all the things the members can do inside the Buzz Build Lab? Okay.
I'll sort those three requests. So I got a rundown of what we did yesterday.
I got a bunch of recommendations on what we can do next, and I said, okay. Let's spin up a thread to do this. Spin up a thread to this.
Spin up a thread to do that. And now what ChadGBT voice is gonna do is actually create brand new threads inside of codecs here to get all this work done one by one.
So on other voice tools, right, you would have to just kinda sit there, do things one at a time, one at a one at time because it doesn't have kind of those orchestration functionality and powers. But ChadGBT voice is more of an orchestrator rather than a worker can spin up brand new agents left and right.
I spent about, what, forty five seconds giving commands, and now I'm sitting here. It's doing the work.
It's spinning up new threads. And in a few minutes, all this work will be done just with a couple of voice prompts. One of the key terms you need to know when using ChadGBT voice is, okay, spin up a new thread for that.
Because ChadGBT voice uses, I think, Terra as its core model, which is one of its lighter models, you wanted to spin up threads because the threads use five six soul, which is, of course, their best model. So the threads use the best model, get the the best work done, and then you reserve the voice just to be the orchestrator and delegate the work to the smarter models.
And you can see this Free task starting with and everything. Attaching the real Henry Openclaw agent to personal OS,
planning the second DGX Spark for BuzzLab,
and outlining what members can do inside the Buzz Build Lab. And there you go. There's the new chats.
You can see some of the new chats over here on the left. It is getting to work. And just like that, like, you can imagine, you wake up in the morning, you put in your AirPods, you go outside, you the sun hits your face, you feel great, you feel like a million dollars, and you say, hey.
What's the status of work? Okay. That sounds great.
Spit up new threads, do all that, and boom. You're a minute into your day. You're outside.
You're feeling the warmth, and you already got work kicked off across everything you're doing. This is my basic morning workflow.
There's way more to this. Now let's do a deep dive on each of the little tips and tricks you you can use to get the absolute most out of ChatGBT voice. So because ChatGBT's remote functionality is so good and all your devices can communicate with each other so well, you wanna set up your system like this where you have an always on desktop computer that all your projects get done in.
Right? When you do voice and you say, hey. Do this work.
Do that work. It all takes place on your always on desktop computer. And then all your other devices, your iPhone, your iPad, your laptops, any other devices you have remote into that main device.
This makes it so that all your projects, all the code you write, all the documents you build, all the PowerPoints you build, all the emails you send, all are nicely organized in one single place. If you weren't using remote and you weren't using this setup, you might be on your iPhone giving commands, on your desktop giving commands, and all the code and all the projects will live in different areas.
As you can see, my voice is doing a bunch of things in the background while I go through this, is really, really amazing. Anyway, if you do it this way where it's all remoting into one place, everything will be nicely organized.
So you can ensure when you go outside and you're on ChadGBT voice on your phone, or if you're on your iPad by the pool, or if you're on your laptop on a plane 20,000 feet in the air, you can ensure that one, ChadGBT is always available because it's on your twenty four seven desktop computer. But two, it's also nicely organized where everything's in one place.
So this is the setup you want. It's really easy to set up. All you need to do is go into your settings.
So if you go settings, then you go down to connections here, and then you go on your twenty four seven computer and go control this Mac, then add all your other devices.
You'll be good to go. They'll all be controlling your one desktop here. And now this doesn't need to be a Mac Studio.
It doesn't need to actually be a desktop computer. Right? It could be, you know, a laptop that you always have plugged in, that you always have open on your desk.
Obviously, this is much easier if you have a Mac Studio. This also works in Mac Mini or any PC device you have, but you just wanna make sure you have some sort of device that is always on, always open so that you can control it from anywhere in the world. Number two tip, I actually talked about towards the beginning during the demo, and that is the orchestration model.
You wanna think about ChadGBT voice as an orchestrator because this is really where its strength is. You never want it to do work itself. You never wanna be like, hey, voice.
Go and do this for me or go and do that for me. Every time you give it a command, you wanna say, hey. Spin up a thread to do this work.
Spin up a new agent or task to do this work. You never want it to do the work itself. One, because the voice agent burns more tokens than other agents out there because there's a lot more tokens that go into, like, kind of the voice functionality itself.
But two, it's burning more tokens, and it's a dumber model. So the voice model itself is incredible, but the actual kind of logic model behind it that's doing work is not as good. As I said before, it's either Terra or Luna.
It is not Soul, which is their strongest model. So it's going to do better work when it delegates it to other agents. So any work you do, you wanna be like, hey.
Spin up a new thread. Do this yourself. I'd actually recommend using the medium level thinking this because this burns a lot of tokens.
I recommend using medium. I actually think five six soul medium is better than, like, five six soul max or ultra or whatever. I think the higher thinking versions of five six soul actually think too much, overthink things.
I think medium's kind of the sweet spot. So what I would do is when you're talking to voice, say, hey. Spin up a new thread.
Make sure you're using five six soul medium thinking. And if you wanna even say, hey. By the way, do this for all threads you spin up.
So you don't have to say that every single time. But you wanna, again, think of it as an orchestrator. All the work you're doing, you're going out on the go, you're at your computer, whatever you're doing, always make sure the work it does is in separate threads.
Tip number three, and this is really great for actually kinda unlocking this new workflow I use, which is being at my desktop computer way less and being on my iPhone out in the world, walking around, not looking at a screen.
That is planning ahead of time. So I I I showed you kinda my morning work workflow. Typically, I do that outside in the sun on the go walking around.
But when you're walking around, it's kind of really easy to forget what you wanted to do that day. There's a lot of stimulation outside. So what I really like to do is wake up in the morning, don't look at your phone, don't look at your computer, don't look at anything else, take out a piece of paper, maybe a small post it note like this, then write down what you wanna get done with Chad GBT voice that day.
So you write down your tasks by hand on this piece of paper. You put you fold it up. You put it in your pocket.
You put your iPhone in your pocket. You put an AirPod in, two AirPods in, whatever you wanna do. You go outside, and then you start talking to Chad GBT voice, and you just run down.
Here's all the tasks I wanna do this day. It then spins up the threads and starts getting that work done. Having the piece of paper on you with the tasks you wanna do makes it a lot easier to make sure you're getting all the work done that day you need to get done.
And you can kinda pull it out and reference it as you go on kinda like your main threads, your main tasks you wanna get done. When you're walking around, you don't have any screens, you're not looking at anything, it's kinda easy to forget everything you're working on, everything you wanna do. This just kinda having a piece of paper that grounds you with the tasks you need to do that day makes it a lot easier to kinda talk to voice and make sure you get those things done.
And you don't have to stare at a screen. One of the beautiful parts about this kinda new technology is you're not looking at screens anymore. Right?
Screens are so toxic and poisonous. What I absolutely love about voice, why I'm so passionate about it, why I tweet about a time they visit. I'm not sponsored by OpenAI.
They're not paying me anything. They barely talk to me. Right?
I'm just so passionate about this feature because it allows you to not look at screens as much. If you're anything like me, you're absolutely addicted to looking at screens.
You're absolutely addicted to social media. This feature helps me break out of it. Being able to write down the task you need to do makes that a lot easier.
Tip number four is utilizing a summary note.
And what I mean by that is when I start my work for the day, I get on the go, I put the AirPod in, I'm talking. I always start with, hey, by the way, voice. Make sure you create a new Apple Note.
Open it up on my desktop. In everything we do today, make sure you write the summary of what we're doing in this Apple Note.
You're gonna get literally 10 times more done using ChadGBT voice on the go than you've ever done before. And the issue is is, like, you can go in a lot of different directions, get a ton done, and then when you get back to your computer, kinda not realize everything you did, not know where to follow-up, not know what to test, not know what to check out.
And so what you really wanted to do is you wanted to actually create an Apple note on your computer that gives a rundown of everything you do with next steps so that when you've gone for your walk, I get my two hour walk in in the morning, I get 10,000 steps in five miles, I'm back to my computer by like 11AM, and then I'm able to sit down and see a rundown of absolutely everything we got done.
Then I can do any follow-up I need at my computer. Without this note being created, it's really easy to forget little tiny details. Because it's so easy when you're in voice to be like, oh, yeah.
Spin up a thread. Do that. Spin up a thread.
Do that. Spin up a thread to do And then forget all the things you did. Having voice make a note and open it up on your computer, which you can do because it has computer control, just makes it a lot easier for you to track everything you did.
I also just like this because if you're anything like me, you just always feel like you haven't hit your max potential for productivity. You always feel like you haven't got done as much as you wanted to do.
This kinda just allows me to reflect on all the work I did that day and actually, like, wait a second. I actually did get a lot done that day, which makes you just feel very good. So I really like this tip.
I've been using it every day. This will just help you keep track of everything you do and also just reflect on how productive you've been. So make sure you ask voice to create this note and pop it up on your computer so when you get home, you can check out everything you got done.
And speaking of that, this one dovetails off that a little bit too. One of the most powerful parts about the ChadGBT desktop app is its computer use and its browser use.
ChadGBT, I think, is the best agent harness on planet Earth right now because its computer use and browser use is so good.
Basically, anything a human being can do in a browser on a computer, ChadGBT and hence ChadGBT voice can do that as well. It's not always perfect at determining the best time to use computer use and browser use.
So you wanna make sure as you're giving commands to ChadGBT voice and you're telling it different things to do, make sure to say, hey. Use computer use for that.
Use browser use for that. Just a couple examples. That Apple note I just showed you a second ago, I always make sure to say, hey.
Use computer use to pop open that note and write the note in there. Then it'll know to pop it open on your computer. For browser use, if I have things where it needs to log in or use a logged in session or things like that, I'll say use browser use, pop open one of our Google Chrome sessions, and do that on my account.
For instance, I needed to, like, export all my email newsletter subscribers yesterday. I said, browser.
Use to pop open the newsletter platform to get the CSV of all the subscribers.
By the way, newsletter link down below. You'll love it. It's best.
Two emails a week. It's incredible. Uh, but that's really important as well.
Make sure you're using the terms browser use, computer use when you wanted to do things on your computer and browser. The next three tips are more desktop tips for Chad GBT voice.
So a lot of things we discussed before this were, like, mobile tips because my one of my favorite workflows is just being outside, walk around. I have a weighted vest I bought off Amazon. It's, a 20 pound vest.
It was, like, $30. I walk around with the weighted vest, getting slim, getting lean, looking good. Right?
But these next tips are for desktop chat GBT voice, which is really, really powerful as well. This isn't really a tip, but this is just kind of a setup of everything. I always have it open when I'm sitting at my computer, so I'll always have this widget open, and then I'll go to different browsers, go to different apps on my computer.
And this will always be open, and I can just start talking anytime I want. But when I open the ChadGBT app again, I really like this new view they created. If you click this alert icon up here, this is the new alert mode.
And I like this so much more because it it orders your threads more like an inbox. Right?
More like an email inbox where it shows you all the newest things that got done at the top. When you're in the normal mode, it's just a full list of all your projects, all the tasks, which is a lot. It gets overwhelming.
But when you're in the alerts mode, I guess they call it activity view, it shows it like an inbox where you can see the last things it did and what needs your attention. Right? I can see in here, this needs my approval for something, so I can click on it.
I can go in here. I'll say allow, allow, and it goes, and it does that work for me.
This view, I find, just helps me get way more done when I'm sitting at my computer because I can always see what needs my attention cause it's always at the top rather than drowned in a huge list of tasks and threats, which is really, really great. So anytime you're at your desktop in the ChatGPT app, always make sure you're in this new activity view as you're getting work done just so you can see what needs your attention.
Tip number seven forces you to use voice way more. Right? It's easy to kind of forget to use voice when you're sitting in a computer, you're doing other things.
Always make sure this is up. Moment you sit down your computer in the morning, open up ChadGBT voice, hit that button in the bottom right I showed you, and then you can have it up.
You can unmute your mic. And what I like to do is I'll be doing work. I'll be hanging out.
And anytime I need something, I just start talking out loud. Right? I just start talking out loud.
If you have it up all day as new tasks come to your brain, you can just say them out loud, and voice will go and start to work on it. So one thing I try to remember to do every time I sit down at my work computer is open up ChatGPT voice, have it open, mute if I need to if I need to talk to someone else from recording a video like this, and then unmute and just talk out loud anytime you need something done.
This is actually my prediction for what I think the Johnny Ive partnership is gonna come up with is like some sort of microphone or desk device that's always listening that you can just talk to anytime you want, anywhere in your house or apartment, and it starts spinning up threads to get things done.
This kind of idea of ambient AI is really, really incredible because it's just intelligence that's always there for you anytime you need it.
And having the voice up twenty four seven allows that kind of use case of ambient AI where you can just say things and then things get done. So I really like that. And the last tip, tip number eight, I think, a really critical one is you should be asking more questions than commands you give.
And what I mean by that is Chad GBT voice is unbelievably smart.
And so what I like to do is do more of this kinda exploration exercise with it. Instead of just sitting there and giving command after command after command after command, I try to actually ask more questions than give commands.
What I mean by that is I'll be like, hey. What do you think we should do here next? What do you think about the work we did there?
What do you think is the best next step? How do we get closer to our overall goal? How do we make this better?
And what I'm doing is I'm actually reverse prompting the voice model, and I'm saying, hey. What do you think we should do next?
And what I actually find is it does a lot better job of coming up with what we should do next than I do. And I actually find it gets way more work done. It also just lightens your cognitive load a ton.
And what I mean by that is if you always have to think about what you want to do next, you're constantly thinking. Your brain's constantly going. But if you're walking around outside, you're feeling the sun, you're like, hey.
What should we do next? Gives you a bunch of items and options. You know?
Okay. Just do that. It just lightens your cognitive load so you don't have to think as hard.
It just feels lighter. It's more enjoyable. It's more fun.
It's more free flowing and creative. So my eighth and very important tip is ask more questions than commands you give. You'll get more done.
It'll be more fun. It'll feel more free. It'll feel more creative.
You just love the workflow even more. That is Chad GBT voice. I highly, highly, highly challenge you today or tomorrow.
Wake up. Do what I show you. Put it in an AirPod.
Go outside. Walk around. Open up voice mode.
Get tasks done. Get back to your computer and just see how much you got done without sitting at your computer looking at a screen the entire day. This has completely changed my life.

The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
The video opens with a blunt claim: ChatGPT's voice mode, not any single model release, is the most underrated AI feature of the year — because it lets someone work less at a desk while getting more done.
Named ideas worth stealing.

Five reasons ChatGPT Voice beats other voice tools
- Can spin up new threads/agents
- Can see across other threads/devices
- Full computer use and browser use
- Most advanced real-time voice AI
- Extremely high usability
The stated case for why ChatGPT's voice mode is architecturally different from Claude's voice mode and dictation tools like WhisperFlow — it delegates and monitors rather than working inside one sandboxed thread.

- Say 'computer use' / 'browser use' explicitly when control is needed
- Work from the desktop app's inbox-style activity view
- Keep voice open and unmuted all day to capture tasks as they occur
- Ask more open questions than direct commands
