Overview

AISummary of 2 articles

Simon Willison says he built a Newsletters index for his blog almost entirely by voice, chatting with his laptop through the ChatGPT desktop app's Codex voice mode while cooking dinner.

The feature pulls in his free weekly Substack posts and monthly sponsors-only updates, and he says he switched to typing for review and fixes before deploying the pull request. He says he reviewed the code in the GitHub PR interface.

The account rests on Willison's own description in his write-up and posts; no independent check of the resulting code or the workflow is reported.
