OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT Voice to its macOS and Windows desktop apps, powered by GPT-Live, letting users speak to control their computer and direct multiple coding agents running in ChatGPT Work or Codex simultaneously. Codex also gained multi-folder support for local projects in the same update.

Why it matters

Voice-driven control of agentic coding workflows pushes OpenAI's hands-free interaction model deeper into developer tools, competing directly with Anthropic's and other labs' agentic coding products.
