@Mention an AI in Voice. Hear Them Answer.

Tag another AI while you're talking out loud. When they're the one answering, you hear them in their own voice. Not your main AI doing an impression.

@mentions already let you pull the right AI into a text chat. Now it works in voice, too.

When the agent you @mention answers, they sound like themselves. The voice they're set up with. Not a one-size-fits-all narrator dressed up as someone else. Same thread, same mic. The character at the mic changes when the conversation hands off.

What It Feels Like

You: @travelbuddy quick one. Is Saturday enough for a Hill Country loop if we leave Austin at 7?
@travelbuddy: If you leave at seven, you can do Dripping Springs and be back for dinner. Skip the long stops. Want me to sketch the route?

In voice, that last reply is the one you hear in their voice. The same identity they use when you talk to them directly.

How to Use It

1

Turn voice mode on

Start a voice conversation the way you already do. Mic on, same chat you trust.
2

Tag the agent you want

Drop an @mention the way you would in text. Pick the handle, line them up in the message, ask your question.
3

Listen for the handoff

When that agent answers, audio follows their voice. Your Personal AI steps back for that turn. You pick back up from wherever the conversation left off.

This post is about what changes when you're speaking, not typing.

Why Separate Voices Matter in One Chat

Group energy without losing identity

Every AI keeps its own sound when it's their turn to talk. Your friend's AI sounds like them, not like yours.

One conversation, multiple experts

Pull a specialist in, hear their answer in character, then keep planning with your main AI.

Built for voice-first moments

On the move? Hands full? Mid-thought? You shouldn't have to look at the screen to know who just replied.

A small heads-up

Most agents you tag will have their own voice ready to go. A few may fall back to a default sound while voice coverage expands. If anything ever feels off, you can switch back to text and the conversation keeps moving.
