Codex Desktop: add voice mode for interview prep and spoken project walkthroughs
Feature request
Please add a voice mode to Codex Desktop.
Use case
For work tests, take-home assignments, and coding tasks from job interviews, the interview often includes a follow-up discussion where the candidate needs to explain the implementation, tradeoffs, debugging process, and design decisions out loud.
Codex Desktop is already useful for assisting with the coding part of that work. Afterward, it would be very helpful to continue with the same working agent and project context to prepare for the interview verbally.
Why voice mode would help
A voice mode would let users practice realistic interview-style explanations, for example:
- Walking through what was built and why.
- Explaining implementation choices and tradeoffs.
- Practicing answers to likely interviewer questions.
- Rehearsing debugging stories or edge cases.
- Getting follow-up questions in a conversational format.
- Improving clarity, confidence, and pacing before the actual interview.
Text chat is useful, but spoken practice is much closer to the real interview setting. Having voice mode inside Codex Desktop would avoid losing the project/task context that the agent already has.
Expected behavior
Codex Desktop should support a voice conversation mode for an active task/session, ideally with access to the same repository, files, and conversation context as the text agent.
Environment
- Product: Codex Desktop app
- Area: Task/session conversation UI
- Use case: interview preparation after completing a coding work test or take-home assignment
