bb, the 'IDE that builds itself', gets a gpt-live-1 voice entry point
Developer @sheherenow wired gpt-live-1 into the AI coding IDE bb and calls it the best thing ever: it works from your phone, can start task threads, and voice-drive any model on any harness across your machines.
What bb is:
- One prompt can modify bb itself — in the demo it builds a tasks plugin, registering a sidebar panel and a bb tasks CLI;
- bb's own features (GitHub integration, agent memory, scheduled jobs, remote access) are all plugins built with the same tools users have;
- Supports custom environments, machine plugins, browser control; demo shows it triaging a Sentry spike (92% of volume from a null cart) and shipping a fix plus regression test;
- Used by teams at Meta, Figma, Notion, Datadog and more; runs on macOS/Linux/Windows, with models like Opus 4.8 1M.
