Itâs here: VoiceClaw Realtime is now available on the App Store for iOS and watchOS, enabling realtime conversation continuously via GPT-Realtime-2 plus GPT-5.5 Instant or GPT 5.5 via OpenClaw. You can operate OpenClaw and your computer, including via cellular connection, from your phone and even from your Apple Watch (whether your phone is nearby or not), or talk to the models directly without OpenClaw. Just scan the in-app QR code reader to pair / sync settings to your iPhone once, and youâre set.
apps.apple.com/us/app/voicecâŚ
On iOS, VoiceClaw can keep running in the background on iOS (with an indicator light), switch modes upon request by voice, directly search the web, read images and analyze video from your clipboard or photo album, draft texts and emails, and use Maps and Safari.
You can tell VoiceClaw to mute the mic by using your voice, and turn it back on by saying âmic onâ (see Accessibility in the app). You can change model reasoning levels, change output from handset/headphones to speaker or use Apple Watch speakers, and modify noise reduction and voice activity detection sensitivity. A live transcript is available if you toggle it on, including on watchOS.
The next update (already finished, available by the weekend) has built-in ChatGPT sign-on, so you wonât need the macOS setup/Companion app to import your ChatGPT subscription to the iOS or watchOS app unless you want to connect to OpenClaw. It also lets you select OpenClaw-mode models besides GPT-5.5 (incl. GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.3-Codex); non-OpenAI models coming later.
The app collects no data, and the setup/Companion app is on GitHub.
It will be available by searching âVoiceClaw Realtimeâ in the App Store soon, but itâs available at the link above now.
May 18
VoiceClaw Realtime will be available in the App Store within hours. Thanks again to everyone who tested the final beta over the weekend. Here's just a tiny bit of what it can do, directly on your phone, and on your computer via OpenClaw, from anywhere.

Iâm still thinking about this. Why? Because people who choose to lie about Israel, 10/7, and the âGaza genocideâ that wasnât, can and will lie in any situation â as investors, as founders, as board members, as operating partners, as service providers and even as developers. This is the actual truth.
I considered deleting this post, thinking that it would be bad for business to post about âpoliticsâ (despite the fact that most of my following on X came from posting about âpoliticsâ) â thinking, âLet me not discourage prospective or current clients, customers, users, investors, or partners, or make people who follow me to read about AI or anything else tech- or business-related uncomfortable or unfollow; I might need them.â
But you know what? This isnât about âpoliticsâ at all. Itâs about telling the truth. Itâs about saying openly that shamelessly lying about reality is wrong.
You canât trust or partner with people who lie. You shouldnât cater to them or make plans that depend on their involvement or support. It will never work. And itâs probably better to signal that you donât want them involved in your business or your ventures or your interests in any way, before you find yourself entangled with them.
The truth matters.

There is no Gaza genocide. There was never a Gaza genocide. Actually, thatâs not quite right. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists tried to murder me, and all of my friends, and everyone in Israel â man, woman and child. That was attempted genocide. They raped, kidnapped, maimed and murdered thousands of us.
They fired thousands of rockets at us, refused to release the hostages they endlessly tortured for two years, and triggered a seven-front war against Israel by terrorists groups across the region â terrorist groups committed to murdering every Jew, every Israeli, every American, and every âinfidel,â while using two million Gazans as human shields.
So Israel fought back. And Israel won.
That is what happened.
It is not Israelâs fault that Hamas terrorists operated from and hid behind and under schools, hospitals, residential areas, and even mosques and the few remaining churches in Gaza.
Your cowardice is not our problem. Your decision to jeopardize the lives of noncombatants by hiding amongst them is not our problem. Your willingness to sacrifice innocent people in Gaza, all because you hate Jews so much and donât actually care about innocent people in Gaza at allâŚis not our fucking problem.
It is the job of the Israeli military to protect the people of Israel from the people who are actively trying to kill them. If you try to fire rockets at me from inside or on top of or next to or underneath a school, then the school is getting blown up. We will not apologize.
We will not apologize for living. We will not apologize for defending ourselves. And we will not apologize for other peopleâs crimes.
I want to know which so-called âmidwitâ VCs âganged up onâ this pathological liar. Those are my people, because they do not tolerate terrorist-loving liars like Replit founder Amjad Masad.
As for the VCs who âstood byâ this liar: nobody should want their money. If you are a founder and you actually care about your company, donât take money from investors who accommodate lies. Nothing good can come of it.
The truth matters.

Dear @OpenAIDevs: this is the real power of GPT-Realtime-2. Please make it available once again for ChatGPT Pro subscribers immediately, even if it draws down more of the allotted usage than it previously did. This is what it is making possible: multiple people who are blind reaching out to me because the way I incorporated it on top of OpenClaw / Hermes in VoiceClaw Realtime would work well for them.
This really changes their quality of life and makes things possible for them that were not possible before without great difficulty (or at all). And, honestly, they need it.
This is important. It matters.

The major bottleneck in software now is the step between 95% done and ready to ship.
Here you are battling
1) spec drift
2) endless micro-bugs
3) absolutely necessary optimisations from monolithic, slop code, and
4) unexpected, random behavior from absolutely unnecessary "fallbacks"
Yet, if you don't experience this, you are NGMI.

Every person I know who uses AI regularly is making more money than ever before, has started a company they otherwise would not have started, has made their job easier than ever before, or some combination of thereof. Every single one. The future is here.
And itâs great.

Visited the @OpenAI offices in SF yesterday and left even more bullish on where AI is heading.
Had the chance to ask @sama about continual learning, AI systems that keep improving over time, and the goal of making automated AI researchers available to everyone, without restricting the power of these models. ;)
Excited to be working at the frontier of AI along with @OpenAI, building SOTA AI systems, agents, and infra that can change the whole world.
Extremely excited for whatâs coming next !

in markets, to go long on something is to bet it grows more valuable over time. much of the conversation today is short on humans, wagering that ai makes people redundant. we believe the opposite is true for the industries @ThriveHoldings operates in.
we are long humans.

âWhen intelligence and software become easier and cheaper to produce, the durable assets are the human things: the trust already earned with clients, the operating knowledge inside the firm, and the expertise that tells you what to build in the first place.â
