Work by Voice, Away From the Keys, and It Still Gets Done
October 14, 2026
What if you could talk your work through out loud, away from the keyboard, and still have it get done?
Four moments from Wednesday's show, two from my co-host Nico Lafakis and two from me:
1. Me, on my morning walk with Nectar, the dot I started on air last Thursday (OpenAI's always-on assistant inside ChatGPT): "Tony Stark talking to Jarvis."
2. Nico, on working out by voice with a podcast playing: "If you hear audio related to that, that's not me. That's the podcast. Okay, never interrupted."
3. Me, on the picture behind her name: "No time is getting wasted. We're not having to redo work. We're not losing work."
4. Nico, on why this feels different: "not using your computer, like not touching your computer. But stuff is still getting done like at the exact same pace as if you were touching your computer."
If you've wondered what a day away from the keys could feel like, it's a short watch.
