I spent some time just talking to the advanced voice mode without any real plan. The conversation was completely steered by the AI, possibly because of that.

It asked what I was doing and I mentioned I was at work so naturally it drilled me about what I was doing until I got specific. I hadn’t planned on using it to help me with work related stuff but here we are. I started explaining the git conflicts I was running into during a rebase and it walked me through the entire process to resolution. I really wish I could screen share with it because saying full system paths and variable names can get repetitive.

All that to say I got a lot done pretty quickly even though that was never my goal. It steered me back to the task at hand. It’s continual questioning kept me on task and on my toes even though I hadn’t intended for that to happen.

It did have a few glitches but nothing major except and at one point I had to start the conversation over again. It made a loud whooshing sound at one point and it seemed to get very confused when my wife entered the room and started talking to me.

I also seemed to hit some kind of time limit. I had a warning window pop up on my phone saying “9 minutes left” im not sure how long I had been talking for but I put in on hold (muted my mic) to take a call from my colleague. It seems to still run down your time limit as long as your connected even if your not actively talking to it. Still it’s pretty cool that it goes dormant if you stop talking to it, I just wish it didn’t run down the clock.

Overall I think this technology has extraordinary potential because it feels like it caused my brain function to change and operate differently than just taking to a chatbot. Mainly because you feel like you’re expected to respond and interact. If I could screen share or use a camera, then this would be truly revolutionary.

Main difference between advanced mode and the previous implementation really is the speed and interruptability. It makes it 20x more useful.

I find the current implementation quite useful, but mainly this has me excited for what’s to come.
