OpenAI shipped two updates in Codex 26.715: ChatGPT Voice and multi-folder projects.
Voice lets you talk to Codex instead of typing. Multi-folder projects let you group related directories into one project instead of flipping between them.
ChatGPT Voice
GPT-Live powers the voice mode in the desktop app. You talk, ChatGPT goes and does the work across your Chat, Work, and Codex threads. Not speech-to-text, not dictation. You're controlling the agent with your voice.
I put on wireless earbuds, walked around the room, and finished tasks while talking. Keyboard and mouse felt like last-gen hardware. That's the moment you realize voice interaction with an AI agent is a different category, not just a shortcut.
On macOS, Screen context lets ChatGPT see your frontmost window, so you don't have to screenshot errors or explain what's on screen.
Available on Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise. Also works via Remote on iOS. Worth setting a keyboard shortcut.
Multi-Folder Projects
Local projects in the ChatGPT desktop app can now include multiple related folders.
Most real projects don't live in a single directory. Your app code sits in one place, docs in another, maybe a shared library in a third. Before this update, you had to switch projects back and forth.
How It Works
Open a project's menu, select Edit project, add folders, and choose one as the primary folder. New chats, Git operations, and automatic discovery of AGENTS.md, skills, and config.toml all use the primary folder. Secondary folders remain available for file search, reading, and editing.
Who Benefits
- Full-stack developers with separate frontend and backend repos.
- Projects where documentation lives outside the main codebase.
- Cross-platform projects where native and framework code sit in different directories.
- Anyone maintaining multiple related repos that belong to the same logical project.
One primary folder keeps config discovery predictable. Secondary folders stay accessible for day-to-day work.
Caveats
- Screen context is macOS only for now.
- Voice requires a paid plan.
- Git operations from multi-folder projects target the primary folder. If you need Git actions in a secondary folder, handle those yourself.
