What is Voice Chat?
Voice Chat lets you talk to Olli instead of typing. Olli hears you, responds conversationally, and gets to work immediately — executing tasks in the background while you keep talking.
There are two voice modes:
Mode | How to Access | Best For |
Voice Standup | Navigate to Flow Mode and start a voice standup | Morning deal reviews, meeting prep, and working through your Flow Mode recommendations out loud |
Voice Tasks | Click the voice icon next to Olli anywhere the chat sidebar appears (e.g., pipeline view, within a deal) | Quick ad-hoc requests while browsing deals, documents, or meetings |
Voice Standup
What it does
Walk through your Flow Mode recommendations with Olli out loud. Olli reviews your deals, upcoming meetings, and recommended actions, then walks you through them one by one.
A typical standup covers:
Today's meetings — who you're meeting, where the deal stands, and what to focus on
Overdue follow-ups — anything promised but not yet delivered
At-risk deals — deals that need attention, with specific next steps
Wrap-up — review action items and anything else on your mind
How to use it
Click the orange Flow Mode icon in the side menu, select Voice Standup, then click Start Standup. Be sure to grant microphone permissions when prompted.
Olli greets you and begins the briefing
As Olli presents recommendations, you can:
Approve — Say "yes" or "do it" to execute the recommended action
Skip — Say "no" or "next" to move on
Ask questions — Interrupt at any time to ask follow-up questions about why something matters
Request custom actions — Ask Olli to draft an email, research a contact, or anything else
Olli responds in real-time and executes approved tasks while you keep talking
When you're done, Olli summarizes what was completed
What Olli can do during standup
Execute recommended deal actions (e.g., draft follow-up emails, update deal stages)
Skip recommendations you don't need
Start new tasks on the fly (research, drafting, analysis)
Follow up on completed tasks (e.g., "make that email shorter")
Answer questions about your deals and pipeline
Voice Tasks
What it does
Click the voice icon next to Olli anywhere the chat sidebar appears — such as the pipeline view or within a deal — and just say what you need. Olli hears you and gets to work immediately. It's context-aware, so Olli knows what page you're on and can see the data you're viewing.
How to use it
Look for the voice icon next to Olli anywhere the chat sidebar appears
Click the icon to open the voice task modal
Speak your request — be as specific or casual as you like
Olli executes the task in the background and confirms
A task status modal shows what's running, what's finished, and gives you direct links to completed outputs
You can give multiple requests back-to-back — tasks run in parallel
Navigate away, come back later — your work is still there waiting
What Olli can do with Voice Tasks
Execute tasks — "Draft a follow-up email for the Acme deal," "Research the new VP of Sales at TechCo"
Answer questions about the current page — "Which deal has the highest value?", "What meetings do I have today?"
Check your calendar — Connect your calendar to power Flow Mode insights. Ask "What's on my schedule today?" and get relevant insights based on who you're meeting with and when — attendee lists, timing, and context are all there
Follow up on previous tasks — "Make that email shorter" or "Add a bullet about the ROI study"
Page context awareness
Voice Tasks automatically knows what you're looking at:
Page | What Olli can see |
Deals list | Your open deals with company names, values, stages, and close dates |
Single deal | The specific deal you're viewing, including key attributes |
Meetings list | Your upcoming meetings |
Single meeting | The meeting you're viewing |
Documents list | Your documents |
Single document | The document you're viewing |
Accounts list | Your accounts |
Single account | The account you're viewing |
This means you can ask contextual questions like "What's the close date on this deal?" or "Which of my deals are closing this month?" without extra explanation.
How Background Tasks Work
When you ask Olli to do something (draft an email, research a contact, etc.), it starts processing in the background:
You speak the request — "Draft a check-in email for the Acme deal"
Olli confirms — "On it" (responds in under a second)
The task runs in the background — Olli handles the work while you keep talking
Keep working — Give more requests, ask questions, or continue the standup
Check the task status modal — See what's running, what's finished, and click direct links to completed outputs
You can also follow up on completed tasks. For example, after Olli drafts an email, say "Make it shorter" or "Add a line about our pricing update" and Olli will revise it.
All completed tasks are saved to your chat history so you can review them later. Navigate away, come back later — your work is still there waiting.
Tips for Best Results
Be direct — "Draft a follow-up for the Acme deal" works better than "I was thinking maybe we should follow up with Acme"
One request at a time — Give one clear instruction, wait for Olli's confirmation, then give the next
Interrupt freely — You can jump in mid-sentence to ask questions or change direction
Skip what you don't need — During standup, say "skip" to move past recommendations that aren't relevant
Ask about results — If a task has finished, ask Olli what happened and request changes
Known Limitations
Voice recognition
Background noise — Voice Chat works best in a quiet environment. Loud background noise can affect transcription accuracy.
Names and jargon — Industry-specific terms, company names, or uncommon words may occasionally be misheard. If Olli misunderstands, simply repeat or rephrase.
Language — Voice Chat currently supports English only.
Response behavior
Tasks are not instant — Background tasks (like drafting emails or doing research) take a few seconds to complete. Olli will let you know when results are ready.
One voice session at a time — You cannot run Voice Standup and Voice Tasks simultaneously.
No interrupting Olli mid-speech — While Olli is speaking, you'll need to wait for a pause before your input is registered. You can, however, start speaking once Olli pauses.
Data limitations
Page context limits — On list pages, Olli can see up to ~25 items. If you have more deals, meetings, or documents than that, Olli may not have visibility into all of them via voice. Use text chat for exhaustive queries.
Calendar scope — When asking about your schedule, Olli retrieves meetings for the next 24 hours only (up to 10 external meetings).
No file uploads — You cannot share files or screenshots via voice. Use Olli's text chat for document-based tasks.
Session context — Very long voice sessions may approach context limits. If Olli seems to lose track of earlier conversation, start a new session.
Browser requirements
Microphone access required — Your browser will prompt for microphone permission the first time you use Voice Chat. You must allow it.
Supported browsers — Voice Chat works best on Chrome and Edge. Safari and Firefox may have limited support.
Troubleshooting
Olli can't hear me
Check that your browser has microphone permission enabled (look for the microphone icon in the address bar)
Make sure the correct microphone is selected in your system audio settings
Try refreshing the page and starting a new session
Voice Chat won't connect
Check your internet connection — Voice Chat requires a stable connection
Try refreshing the page
If the issue persists, use Olli's text chat as a fallback
Olli misunderstood my request
Rephrase and try again — say "Actually, I meant..." followed by your corrected request
For complex requests, consider using Olli's text chat instead
A voice task appeared to fail
Voice tasks can occasionally fail on the voice side due to connection interruptions or session issues. However, the task may still be processing on our end.
Check your chat history — if the task was received, it will appear there with its results once complete.
If you're unsure whether a request went through, look for it in your chat history before re-submitting.
Tasks aren't completing
Background tasks usually complete within a few seconds. For more complex requests (like detailed research), it may take longer.
Ask Olli "Is that task done?" to check status
If a task seems stuck, check your chat history — the task may have completed there even if the voice session lost track of it
I can't see the microphone button
Voice Tasks may not be enabled for your account. Contact your admin to check feature availability.
Make sure you're using the latest version of the app.
