ChatGPT Voice is the most powerful AI feature of 2026. Here’s how to master it

0:00 CAD GBT voice is the single most important underrated feature in AI lab has released this year. It has transformed how I work more than any other AI tool I've used. I now work way less am 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 chat GBT voice. If you stick with me until the end of this video, I personally guarantee you, you're going to get way more work done in way less time and free yourself to do whatever the heck you want during the day. You want to go outside, you can do whatever you want and you'll still get amazing work done. Now, let's lock in and get into it. So, let's quickly start off why chat GBT voice is so special, so much different than Claude's voice mode, and really just way more than a dictation tool like Whisper Flow or other tools.

0:53 Here are the five biggest reasons why it is completely differentiated from any other tool out there. 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 ever watch any of my live streams, I talk about how much I hate talking to AI. I just like typing much more. This chat GBT voice completely changed my mind. I am 100% voice pill now. And here is why.

1:17 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 going to show you like a demo of my typical day-to-day workflow of using Chat GBT voice, how I talk with it, what it does. But the most powerful thing it can do is actually orchestrate other AI agents. When you use any 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 kind of works in its own little sandbox mode, right? But Chad GBT voice, you can say, "Here are my five tasks for the day."

1:57 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 Clawude 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 got to 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 them up and say, "Okay, I'll let you know when they're all done." That is really, really amazing. It can also see across other threads and devices because Chad GBT has such great remote functionality and is across all your devices. You can go to Chad GBT voice, say, "Spin this up on this device, go over here on this device, and do that."

2:55 It basically becomes like an orchestrator of your entire digital life, 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 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 a chief of staff orchestrator 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.

3:43 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. 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. 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 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.

4:48 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 and really makes you think this is probably the future of AI. But we'll get more into that in 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 going to completely transform. So let's first go into a basic workflow. I'm going to show you live how I use Chad GBT 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 cuz I don't feel like taking a camera with me outside to be quite honest with you. I don't want to be one of those dorky guys filming themselves walking around. So, we're going to do it here on my desktop, but this is my basic day-to-day workflow.

5:55 Once we go through this, just so you get a taste of how this works, the different mindset and strategies with using this new technology, then I'll go into the eight advanced tips that kind of tie into what I'm about to show you. So, I wake up in the morning, I open up the chat GBT 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.

6:21 But this is the chat GBT voice button. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to hit that. It's going to open up our voice session. Then, I'm just going to show you how I start my day and how I work with Chad GBT voice. Hey there, Chad 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.

6:42 >> So, I'll mute my microphone right here because if you stop, cut it off. Personal OS is live on the web with your two readonly calendars, Henry tasks and thumbnail campus. You can move to previous days, >> giving me a rundown of all the work I did yesterday across GBT and all my projects and the desktop app just wraps that web version. Also, the VCA >> because it has visibility across all my entire digital life. 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.

7:21 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. All right. Now, let's go back in and give it feedback on our status and what we want to do next. All right, 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 Buzz Lab. 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?

8:20 >> 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 do this. Spin up a thread to do that." And now what Chad GBT voice is going to do is actually create brand new threads inside of codeex here to get all this work done one by one. So on other voice tools, right, you would have to just kind of sit there do things one at a time, one at a time, one at a time because it doesn't have kind of those orchestration functionality and powers. But Chad GBT voice because it's more of an orchestrator rather than a worker can spin up brand new agents left and right.

9:00 I spent about what 45 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 chat GBT voice is okay spin up a new thread for that because chat GBT 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 56 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 >> creating 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.

9:56 >> 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, 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.

10:20 You're feeling the warmth. And you already got work kicked off across everything you're doing. So, 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 can you can use to get the absolute most out of chat GBT voice. So, because chat GBT's remote functionality is so good and all your devices can communicate with each other so well, you want to 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 in all the projects will live in different areas.

11:29 As you can see, my voice is doing a bunch of things in the background while I go through this, which 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 Chad GBT 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 ft in the air, you can ensure that one, Chad GBT is always available because it's on your 247 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.

12:06 So, if you go settings, then you go down to connections here, and then you go on your 24/7 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. 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 want to 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 want to think about Chad GBT voice as an orchestrator because this is really where its strength is. You never want it to do work itself. You never want to 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 want to say, "Hey, spin up a thread to do this work.

13:10 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 want to 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 56 soul medium is better than like 56 soul max or ultra or whatever. I think the higher thinking versions of 56 soul actually think too much overthink things. I think medium is 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 56 soul medium thinking.

14:17 And if you want to 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 want to 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 kind of 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, and that is planning ahead of time. So, I I I showed you kind of my morning 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 want to get done with Chat 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, put an AirPod in, two AirPods in, whatever you want to do. You go outside, and then you start talking to Chad GBT voice, and you just run down, here's all the tasks I want to do this day. It then spins up the threads and starts getting that work done.

15:40 Having the piece of paper on you with the task you want to 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 kind of pull it out and reference it as you go on kind of like your main threads, your main tasks you want to get done. When you're walking around, you don't have any screens, you're not looking at anything. It's kind of easy to forget everything you're working on, everything you want to do.

16:01 this just kind of having a piece of paper that grounds you with the tasks you need to do that day makes it a lot easier to kind of 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 kind of 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 ton, they vis 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 I 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, and everything we do today, make sure you write the summary of what we're doing in this Apple note." You're going to get literally 10 times more done using chat GBT 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, kind of 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 want it 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 2hour walk in in the morning. I get 10,000 steps in 5 miles. I'm back to my computer by like 11:00 a.m. and then I'm able to sit down and see a rundown of absolutely everything we got done. Then I can do any followup I need at my computer.

18:02 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 the thread, do that, spin up a thread to do that, and then forget all the things you did." Having voice make a note and then 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.

18:31 You always feel like you haven't got done as much as you wanted to do. This kind of 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 that when you get home, you can check out everything you got done. And speaking of that, this one dovetales off that a little bit, too. One of the most powerful parts about the Chad GBT desktop app is its computer use and its browser use. Chad GBT, 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. Chat GBT and hence Chad GBT 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 want to make sure as you're giving commands to chat GBT 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.

19:47 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 loggedin 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 use browser 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. 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 chat GBT voice. So, a lot of things we discussed before this were like mobile tips cuz my one of my favorite workflows is just being outside, walk around. I have a weighted vest I bought off Amazon. It's like a 20 pound vest. It was like 30 bucks. 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 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 chat GBT 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 because it's always at the top rather than drowned in a huge list of task and threads, which is really, really great. So, anytime you're at your desktop in the Chat GBT 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 and you're sitting at computer you're doing other things always make sure this is up moment you sit down your computer in the morning open up chat GBT 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 into your brain you can just say them out loud and voice will go and start to work on it.

22:53 So, one thing I try to remember to do every time I sit down at my work computer is open up chat GBT 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 IV partnership is going to 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 24/7 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.

23:42 And the last tip, tip number eight, I think is a really critical one is you should be asking more questions than commands you give. And what I mean by that is chat GBT voice is unbelievably smart. And so what I like to do is do more of this kind of exploration exercise with it. Instead of just sitting there and giving a 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.

24:38 And what I mean by that is if you always have to think about what you wanted 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 and you go, "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.

25:06 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 chat 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. Again, this isn't sponsored by OpenAI or anything like that. I just love this feature so much. I hope this was helpful.
