The author shared their initial hands-on experience with GPT Live voice mode, offering a generally positive review.
Pros:
- More natural and expressive than before
- Smoother conversations
- Significantly improved continuity in voice interactions
Cons:
- Cannot access apps or read external content like GitHub, Linear, or emails
- Lacks a wake word or a voice trigger to end the call
- Sessions still time out after about 1 hour
- Still struggles to spell out letters
- No live transcription on screen by default; requires swiping down to view
The author also expressed hope for future additions like voice custom instructions, 24/7 ambient availability, and enhanced task/notification capabilities.
