Key points

  • This week, without my laptop around, I found that fiction loosening, and now I believe it will eventually disappear because of how I use AI agents.
  • I did most of my work this week by chatting to ChatGPT on my phone.
  • This is thanks to OpenAI’s July release of GPT-Live, which lets you direct agents by voice.
  • Leaving my laptop behind started a real-life experiment to see how much of my day-to-day work I could get done through my voice assistant.
