Talk to Chief (voice)

Press Talk in the Chief box and just talk. Chief listens, answers out loud, and listens again, like a phone call: pause when you have finished and it answers; start talking while it is speaking and it stops and listens to you. Everything you say appears in the same conversation as your typing, marked with a small microphone, so you can scroll back and read it later.

• It speaks while it worksChief starts saying the first sentence of its answer as soon as it is written, instead of waiting for the whole reply, and it tells you what it is doing (“Let me check your invoices”) while a step runs. Answers are written to be heard: short sentences, no lists read out, no links or codes. What you say and what Chief says appear as captions while you talk.
• Interrupt it, or stop itTalk over it and it goes quiet and listens. Say “stop”, “cancel” or “never mind” to halt what it is doing; anything already done stays done.
• Finish the job by voiceWhen Chief has filled in a form for you and asks “Press Save?”, just say yes or no. It never presses anything that pays, deletes, sends or approves, whatever you say.
• Your voice, your paceThe settings in voice mode choose the voice (the most natural one on your device is picked first), the speed, hands-free or hold-to-talk, and how long a pause means you have finished. They are remembered on this browser.
• Chrome, Edge, Safari and FirefoxChrome, Edge and Safari do the listening themselves. Firefox has no speech recognition of its own, so there each thing you say is recorded, sent to our speech-to-text provider, turned into text and not kept.
• The microphone button and read-aloud still workThe microphone beside the box types what you say into it, and the speaker toggle reads Chief’s typed answers aloud, a couple of sentences at a time.
• Chief on your pageChief also stands in the corner of every workspace page as a character. It thinks while Chief works on something, presents when Chief answers, walks while Chief moves around the app for you, celebrates when something got done, and sits down when things are quiet. When the Chief panel is closed, the answer appears in a speech bubble above it. Click Chief for a small card: ask a question, open the full chat, or choose Hide me (it stays hidden on that browser).
• Live voiceWhere it is switched on, Talk opens a live conversation instead: a natural voice that hears you directly, answers in English or Urdu, and stops the moment you talk over it, the way ChatGPT voice does. It never starts talking while you are still speaking, and when you add something mid-answer it answers what you just said rather than carrying on. It keeps answers to a sentence or two and gives the details when you ask. A new call remembers the last few things you and Chief said, so you can pick up where you left off. A badge at the top says whether you have the live voice or your browser’s basic voice, and the buttons along the bottom are Mute, Stop, Type and End. Everything about your work still goes to Chief, with your own access, so live voice can do exactly what typing can and nothing more. A “yes” only counts when you said it yourself. If live voice is not available, Talk uses your browser’s voice instead and tells you so.The conversation keeps going when Chief takes you to another page; End or Switch to typing finishes it. Live voice is limited to two hours a day per person and counts toward your workspace’s AI budget.Say “stop”, “ruko” or “bas” to stop Chief in the middle of something. Before Chief changes, sends or creates anything it asks first and waits for your own yes (“yes”, “haan”, “ji”, “theek hai”), and when you give it a name by voice it reads the name back before using it. If a live conversation is already open on another device, press Try again to move it here: the other device stops.
