Early OpenAI 'dot' user gripes: voice mode requiring a 'call' feels odd

KPGilmore · x · 2026-10-02

User KPGilmore shared early feedback on OpenAI's 'dot': he likes the product but dislikes that voice interaction requires literally 'calling' dot and waiting for it to ring, instead of tapping a voice-mode button to chat instantly like in Codex or ChatGPT Work. He argues the dial-waiting UX is odd and hopes OpenAI moves to one-tap voice chat.
