Better ChatGPT voice mode here

Hey AI Enthusiast,

I've been complaining about ChatGPT's voice mode for months.

Using it felt like being blindfolded. You'd talk to this animated blue circle on a separate screen. Couldn't see what it was saying. Just had to listen and hope you caught everything.

Miss something? Too bad. Exit voice mode. Scroll back through text. Start over.

Drove me crazy.

OpenAI finally fixed it.

Now voice works right inside your regular chat. You talk. The words appear on screen. You can see images, maps, code blocks. Everything.

Rolling out to everyone now.

This changes how I use ChatGPT. And if you've been avoiding voice mode because it sucked, it's time to try again.

But first, today's prompt and why custom GPTs are way more valuable than people think (then more on this update...)

How to Build Custom GPTs That Actually Work

The GPT Store is garbage.

Let me be clear about that. Searching it is a mess. Discovery doesn't work. Most listings are poorly written. And relying on organic traffic from the store is a waste of time.

But building custom GPTs for specific business niches? That's a gold mine.

You're not building for the GPT Store. You're building specialized tools for your audience. Tools they can't get anywhere else.

Step 1: Find One Painful, Specific Problem

The GPTs that get used aren't "marketing helpers" or "writing assistants."

They're hyper-specific.

Real estate agent needs MLS descriptions in 30 seconds. Podcaster needs show notes formatted for Spotify, Apple, and YouTube simultaneously. Shopify owner needs product descriptions that convert.

Narrow beats general. Every single time.

You want someone to see your GPT and think "this was made specifically for me."

Step 2: Load It With Your Actual Knowledge

This is where everyone screws up.

They write basic instructions. Upload nothing. Give it generic prompts. Then wonder why nobody uses it.

Your GPT needs knowledge ChatGPT doesn't have:

• Your proprietary frameworks

• Industry data and terminology

• Templates that actually work

• Real examples of good vs garbage outputs

I built one for my team with our internal processes. It writes better than most contractors did.

If your GPT doesn't perform better than "just use ChatGPT with this prompt," you built nothing. Delete it and start over.

Step 3: Make It Easy to Access for Your Audience

Forget the GPT Store listing. Nobody's finding you there.

Instead, give your audience direct access:

• Share the link in your email newsletter

• Post demos on LinkedIn showing real results

• Create YouTube videos walking through use cases

• Give it to clients as a bonus tool

Distribution beats discovery. Always.

The GPT becomes a lead magnet. A client retention tool. A way to deliver your expertise at scale.

Step 4: Build for Your Specific Business Case

Custom GPTs work best when they solve problems you already understand.

If you're a real estate coach, build GPTs for agents. If you run a marketing agency, build GPTs for your service deliverables. If you teach sales, build GPTs that help people practice objection handling.

You know the pain points. You know what good looks like. You know the shortcuts.

That expertise becomes the product.

Step 5: Treat It Like a Product, Not a Side Project

The GPTs that actually get used aren't one-and-done builds.

They get updated. Improved. Refined based on how people actually use them.

Add new capabilities. Fix broken workflows. Improve the outputs.

This isn't about listing something in a store and hoping it takes off.

It's about building tools that make your business more valuable.

Why This Actually Matters

Custom GPTs let you scale your expertise without scaling your time.

You're not selling knowledge. You're selling done-for-you automation.

Client onboarding that used to take you 2 hours? Build a GPT. Now it takes 15 minutes.

Copywriting feedback you give 10 times a week? Build a GPT with your frameworks. Let it handle the first draft review.

Research briefs your team creates manually? Build a GPT that does it in 3 minutes instead of 3 hours.

The opportunity isn't in the GPT Store. It's in building specialized tools for specific business cases where you already have expertise and an audience.

That's where the value is.

Did You Know?

Movie theaters use AI that monitors audience breathing patterns during films to predict box office success more accurately than traditional test screenings.

The Voice Mode Details

OpenAI announced this Tuesday.

Old way: Separate screen. Animated blue circle. Mute button and video option. But you could only listen. Couldn't read the responses.

Miss something? Exit voice mode. Find it in the text chat. Start over.

I tried using it for brainstorming last week. Gave up after 10 minutes. Too frustrating.

New way: Voice works inside your regular chat. Talk and watch the words appear in real time. See images, maps, code. Review earlier messages without leaving voice.

Way more natural.

One catch: You still tap "end" to switch back to text mode. Not automatic.

It's the default now for everyone. Web and mobile.

If you hate it, you can switch back in Settings → Voice Mode → Separate mode.

I've been testing it all week.

Makes voice mode actually useful. I'm using it for:

• Quick content edits while driving

• Brainstorming session notes

• Cleaning up rough drafts hands-free

Small change. Big difference.

Over to You...

Now that voice mode actually works, what's the first thing you're going to use it for?

Hit reply and let me know.

To building better tools,
