OpenAI tests Codex voice mode as a general-purpose agent with connectors
gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-07-23
OpenAI references spotted in ChatGPT point to a Codex Realtime Voice Mode that would let users steer a general-purpose agentic assistant by voice.
- The assistant is described as able to handle tasks like checking Slack, Spotify, documents, calendars, browsing, shopping, and food ordering.
- The leak suggests ChatGPT voice mode may gain Connectors and broader tool use.
- The screenshots also show UI strings for approvals, permissions, file changes, and MCP/tool activity, hinting at a more agentic Codex experience.
- The timeline is still unclear, and the exact rollout form may differ from the current Codex app references.
