Nick Baumann is on the Developer Experience team at OpenAI, where he spends his days building with, testing, and communicating the capabilities of ChatGPT Codex and ChatGPT Work. In this episode, Nick walks me through several features that have launched or evolved recently: the new voice interface with its screen-reading orb, the Heartbeats automation system in ChatGPT Work on mobile, the live ChatGPT Sites deployment feature, and his personal use case for AI-assisted UGC video editing.
What you’ll learn:
How two-person voice chat works
How Heartbeats work
How to build and deploy a live website with ChatGPT Sites
How to delegate a flight search, hotel booking, and expense report to Codex in a single voice conversation without opening a single app manually
Why ChatGPT Work on mobile is the most underutilized AI workflow for people already using the ChatGPT app
How to use a custom UGC Video plugin to feed 50 raw clips into ChatGPT, let it pull transcripts, pick the best takes, and assemble a finished vertical video overnight
