Talk to your AI agent: calls, voice memos, podcasts

Typing isn't always the easiest way to hand over a job. With nox.cool you can call Nox and talk it through while it works, send and get voice memos, and have it make you a short podcast of the news you care about, ready in your podcast app every morning. Here's how each one works.

Key points

  • Live talk lets you call Nox from the app and talk a task through; it keeps working while you're on the line.
  • It remembers what you talked about on earlier calls, and a dropped line reconnects to the same call.
  • You can send voice memos instead of typing, and agents can answer with a voice memo of their own.
  • Nox can make a podcast episode, alone or with a co-host, up to about fifteen minutes, from research it does itself.
  • Switch on your private feed and episodes reach Apple Podcasts, Overcast or Pocket Casts on all your devices.

Typing isn't always the easiest way to hand over a job. Sometimes you're walking, driving or cooking, and it's simpler to say it. Sometimes you'd rather listen than read. nox.cool gives you three ways to use your voice with Nox: call it, swap voice memos, and get a podcast made just for you.

Can you call your AI agent?

Yes. Tap the call button in nox.cool and talk. Nox answers out loud, in the voice you picked, and the conversation works like a phone call with someone who's also at a computer:

Find me a dentist near the office who can see me this week, and check if they take my insurance.

While you talk, Nox can start the work: searching, comparing, checking availability. You can add details as you think of them ("mornings only") and it picks them up. When you hang up, the call's notes stay in the task, so nothing you said gets lost.

Two things make calls feel natural:

  • It remembers earlier calls. Each call ends with a short summary, and Nox has your last few calls in mind next time. "Like we said yesterday" works.
  • A dropped line reconnects. If your signal drops for a moment, the call picks up where it left off instead of starting over.

On iPhone, you can set the Action Button to start a call or a voice memo in one press, no unlocking and tapping through the app.

How do voice memos work?

When the message box is empty, the send button becomes a microphone. Hold it, talk, let go. Your memo is kept with your documents, Nox hears what you said, and replies as usual. It works in Telegram too: send Nox a voice note and it answers.

Nox can answer with a voice memo of its own, a couple of minutes at most, written to be listened to rather than read. You choose when: only when you sent one, always, or never. Each agent speaks in its own voice; there are 28 to choose from, and they speak many languages.

Can Nox make you a podcast?

Yes, and this is the part people tend to love. Ask:

Make me a five-minute podcast of today's AI news, with a co-host.

Nox researches the stories, writes a short conversation for two voices (Nox and a co-host who sounds clearly different), records it, and puts the episode in the chat with a player, a title and show notes listing every source with a link. An episode can run up to about fifteen minutes. It's kept in your documents too.

Want one every morning without asking? Add Anchor from the agent gallery. It's set up to research your topics and make a fresh episode every day at 7, ready before your commute.

How do you get it in your podcast app?

Open Settings › Podcast and switch on your private feed. You get one-tap buttons for Apple Podcasts, Overcast and Pocket Casts, plus a link you can paste into any other podcast app. From then on, every new episode shows up there by itself, on your phone, in your car and on your laptop.

A few honest details:

  • Spotify can't take it. Spotify only plays public shows and doesn't follow private feeds. Most other podcast apps do.
  • The feed is off until you turn it on. Episodes can include things Nox read in your email, so you decide.
  • The link is the key. Your podcast app's servers fetch episodes from the secret link, so anyone who has it could listen. Make a new link any time and the old one stops working.

Does Nox join meetings too?

It can. Nox can join a Google Meet, Zoom or Teams call as a named guest, listen, and turn the call into notes and next steps. We wrote about that in An AI agent that joins your meetings.

The short version

Call Nox when talking is easier than typing, and it gets to work while you speak. Swap voice memos when you're on the move. Let it make you a podcast, alone or with a co-host, and get it in your podcast app every morning.

All of this is available today in nox.cool's early access, by invite. Read about the routines that can make your morning episode, or try a task on the home page.

Questions and answers

Can I talk to Nox like a phone call?

Yes. Tap the call button in nox.cool and talk. Nox answers out loud, takes notes on what you ask, and can start the work while you're still talking. On iPhone you can set the Action Button to start a call in one press.

What languages does Nox speak?

Its voices speak many languages, and you can talk to it in yours. There are 28 voices to choose from, and each agent can have its own.

How does the daily podcast work?

Ask for an episode, or add the Morning podcast template, which makes one every day at 7. Nox researches the news on your topics, writes a short conversation for two voices, records it and puts it in the chat, with the sources in the show notes.

Can I listen to my Nox podcast on Spotify?

Not yet. Spotify only plays public shows and can't follow a private feed. Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts and most other podcast apps can, so episodes reach your phone, car and laptop.

Is my podcast feed private?

It's off until you switch it on. When it's on, it's a secret link that only your podcast app knows. Its servers fetch the episodes, so anyone with the link could listen; you can make a new link at any time, which stops the old one.
