Голосовой режим ChatGPT от OpenAI пришёл на десктоп: связка с Codex и Work

OpenAI added a new ChatGPT voice mode to its desktop app on July 24, 2026: ChatGPT Voice now works right on the computer and connects with ChatGPT Work and the Codex tool, letting you complete tasks and manage agents by voice.

What changed in the desktop app

ChatGPT's voice mode, previously tied primarily to the mobile app, is now available in the desktop version. TechCrunch reported this on July 24, 2026. The key difference from the previous voice chat is integration with work tools: ChatGPT Voice on desktop can reach out to ChatGPT Work and Codex, so it doesn't just answer by voice — it carries tasks through to completion and manages agents.

• Launch date — July 24, 2026 (according to TechCrunch)
• Platform — ChatGPT desktop app (Mac/Windows)
• Integrations — ChatGPT Work and Codex
• Features — completing tasks and managing agents by voice

Why the Codex connection matters

Codex is OpenAI's tool for writing and running code. A voice mode layered on top of it means a request can be spoken out loud while execution is handed off to an agent: you state the task instead of typing it manually. The pairing of ChatGPT Voice with Codex and ChatGPT Work turns voice from a way to "chat with a bot" into an interface for managing workflows right from the computer.

"ChatGPT Voice on desktop can work with both ChatGPT Work and Codex to complete tasks and manage agents,"

TechCrunch reports.

What's the point of bringing it to desktop?

Bringing voice mode to desktop puts it in the environment where the real work happens — code, documents, work scenarios. On the phone, a voice assistant more often acts as a conversation partner; on the computer, next to a code editor and work files, voice becomes a way to delegate actions, not just ask questions. This fits OpenAI's broader push to turn ChatGPT from a chatbot into an agent that takes actions on its own.

What this means

OpenAI is gradually erasing the line between voice chat and agentic features: on desktop, voice becomes one more way to launch tasks and manage agents. For those already working with ChatGPT Work and Codex, this removes an extra step — you can state the task out loud and leave the execution to the agent.
