OpenAI's Codex is reportedly preparing a real-time voice mode that turns it into a more complete personal assistant.
According to the screenshot shared in the post, the system prompt describes:
- a general-purpose assistant that keeps the conversation going by voice
- a work agent that can handle tasks like checking Slack, Spotify, documents, calendars, browsing, shopping, or ordering food
- an example task: browsing Uber Eats to find dinner options
The post frames this as a notable Codex update, possibly arriving around the same time as another major model release.
