Ep 829: ChatGPT Voice is Like Jarvis: How to use the New Feature and the 7 biggest unlocks
July 29, 2026
AI Summary
5 min readWhen Jordan Wilson took an hour-long walk with an AirPod in his ear, he wasn't listening to a podcast. He was running his business. From his iPhone, he commanded his home computer to create documents, triage emails, organize cloud storage, transcribe YouTube videos, and plan his next show. The work happened without him touching a keyboard. Wilson, host of the Everyday AI podcast, has tested thousands of AI tools over four years, and he says ChatGPT Voice inside the desktop app (which he calls "Codex") has instantly become the most useful one ever. He compares it to having your own Jarvis from Iron Man — an always-listening, always-working agent that you can talk to like a person.

Show Notes
People are calling the new ChatGPT Voice their “AGI moment.” 🤖
After testing it over the past week, I understand why.
It seems like the missing link between the ever-capable desktop agent and the human worker not having to type in front of said desktop all day.
It’s less like “voice mode” and more like having your own JARVIS.
After testing thousands of AI tools, this has instantly become one of the most useful features I’ve ever used.
Tune in as we put AI to Work on Wednesdays and go hands-on with the new hands-free ChatGPT Voice.
