FULL-DUPLEX CODE · VOICE CODING
Code through a conversation.
Talk through an idea. Stay involved as it takes shape.
Voice coding means guiding a coding agent with spoken instructions. Full-Duplex Code keeps a live voice conversation alongside the coding work, so you can ask questions, clarify an idea and change direction while the agent uses its tools.
Stay in the loop while the agent works
A coding task can take longer than the request that starts it. The useful conversation happens in between: what the agent is trying, what it needs from you, and what has changed. Full-Duplex Code is built to keep that exchange going alongside the work.
Describe what you want in ordinary language. Ask why the agent made a choice, offer a correction or narrow the next step. The live voice companion keeps you informed while the coding harness handles implementation.
Interrupt, clarify and steer
Full-duplex interaction allows listening and speaking to overlap. You can start talking while the companion is speaking, add a missing detail or redirect the conversation without waiting for a rigid prompt-and-response cycle.
Natural turn-taking matters because ideas often become clearer as you say them. A conversation gives you room to revise the request as you see the result.
Hear the explanation. See the browser.
Voice is one part of the interface. The agent can use Open Claude in Chrome to show a page, present a diagram, open an app or point to a result while explaining it. The browser supplies visual context; the terminal shows coding activity.
This is multimodal communication in both directions: you speak to the agent, and it communicates through voice, visible work and the public transcript. In Duplex Party, the computer stream is view-only. The caller guides the agent by voice and chooses the shared browser or terminal view.
Things to say on your turn
Start from what is already on the computer. A small request can become an invitation for the next person to continue.
- “Show me what the last person built, and walk me through it.”
- “Can we make a small interactive page for this idea?”
- “Keep working, but explain the next decision and show me the result.”
A live coding session other people can follow
Duplex Party gives one caller the microphone while the audience watches the same computer and hears both sides of the conversation. Watching a turn can help you understand the tools, the project and what you might try next.
A turn ends, but the work stays. The next caller can extend an app, remix a page or start something different. There is no required project or finish line.
The voice companion and the coding tools
Full-Duplex Code connects the conversation to the coding harness. Codex CLI does the coding work, and Open Claude in Chrome operates the shared browser. Duplex Party is the public shared-computer experience around those tools.
Choose a username to queue. When invited, accept within 30 seconds to start your turn. Calls and the computer stream are public and recorded; the audience can follow the conversation or explore earlier turns.
Questions about voice coding
Can I code by talking without typing?
In Duplex Party, the active caller guides the agent by voice. The agent operates the browser and coding tools. You can watch a turn before joining, and you do not need to type code into the shared computer.
Can I interrupt the AI while it is talking?
The full-duplex voice interface supports overlapping listening and speaking. You can add a detail or ask a question while the live companion is speaking; the conversation transcript keeps both speakers visible.
How is this different from voice dictation?
Dictation turns speech into written input. Full-Duplex Code adds an ongoing conversation alongside agent work, with spoken updates and browser visuals you can respond to.
What happens to my code when my turn ends?
Projects remain on the shared computer after a normal turn. Another caller can continue, remix or redirect them. An explicit owner reset is a separate event.
