How to activate

Click the microphone button in the Conductor input bar to start a voice session. The button turns red while recording. An animated particle overlay appears showing the current state.

Voice overlay states

The overlay uses different colors to show what is happening:

  • Green particles — the system is listening to you
  • Purple particles with pulsing dot — your speech is being processed
  • Blue particles — the Conductor is speaking its response
  • Yellow particles — connecting to the voice service

The particles respond to your voice waveform in real time.

What works well with voice

  • Rapid brainstorming — speak ideas freely and let the Conductor capture them
  • Quick navigation — "Go to design," "Show me the strategy," "Open the backlog"
  • Directing generation — "Generate a research report for our target audience"
  • Asking questions — "What is the strongest finding from research?"
  • Giving feedback — "The color palette feels too corporate, make it warmer"

Tips for better results

  • Speak in full sentences rather than fragments
  • Give context before the request: "Looking at the strategy page, I think the elevator pitch needs to be shorter"
  • Use voice for direction and typing for precise edits
  • Voice sessions are transcribed and become part of the conversation history

Click the microphone button again to end the session.

Under the hood

Voice runs on a continuous bidirectional stream — you don't have to wait for a "your turn" prompt. The Conductor listens while you talk and starts processing the moment you pause. You can also talk over the model to interrupt it (barge-in): start speaking while it's responding and it will stop, listen, and answer your new direction.

Sessions use a session-scoped context bundle built from your current project, so the Conductor knows what you're working on without you having to repeat it. Every spoken exchange is recorded as transcript in the regular conversation history.
