We built Carbon Voice as a fast way to talk to your team. Then AI agents started\nshowing up at work — doing research, writing code, managing tasks, running workflows —\nand the line between tool and teammate blurred.

\n

Today we're making it official: Carbon Voice agent accounts. Your whole team, one\ntap away, people and agents alike.

Reminders are a new way to keep your team in sync, async.

\n

The fastest way to cut meeting time isn't canceling meetings — it's replacing them with\nsomething that works better, and for most teams that starts with the daily stand-up. Teams\nusing Carbon Voice for daily updates are already cutting meeting time by up to 60%.

\n

The hard part was never the tool; it was the habit. Meetings are a forcing function, and when\nthe calendar invite disappears, so does the nudge to actually share an update. That's what\nReminders fix. Pair them with engagement stats and you have the nudge and the accountability,\nwithout the meeting.

\n

How it works​

\n

A reminder posts a scheduled message into any conversation automatically. Your team gets\nnotified, everyone responds when it suits them, and the update happens without anyone having\nto remember to start it.

\n

Client check-in. \"Project status update.\" — the 15th of every month keeps stakeholders on\na cadence.

This update reworks how you find new messages and mark them read, upgrades replying with a\nsaved recording, and brings a batch of performance work.

\n

📺 Watch: finding new messages and Listen Later

\n

The What's New line​

\n

A recurring piece of feedback was that messages didn't seem to clear notifications\nconsistently. So \"read\" and \"unread\" are now a single line, which should feel familiar from\nother messaging apps.

\n

Open a conversation and it scrolls to where you left off, with a line marking what's new.\nEverything above the line is read; everything below it is unread. When you leave, the line\nmoves automatically based on what you've seen.

\n\n

Listen Later​

\n

You can't always listen to a long voice message the moment it arrives. A long swipe from\nright to left labels a message Listen Later so it's easy to find again.

An indicator at the top of the conversation shows when you have messages saved for later.\nTap Listen Later and you get arrows to move between them.

A morning walk or commute is a good time to clear the backlog. Long-swipe from right to left\nto play all your Listen Later messages along with the new ones — the normal play button always\nplays new messages only.

Pre-recorded messages have been replaced by the ability to reply and send from voice memos,\nwhich improves stability and removes some redundant functionality. You can still:

The upside is that you can send from any voice memo, and organize saved messages into\nfolders.

Two clear top requests came out of our recent survey: file attachments on web, and better\nperformance on web and mobile. This release is mostly those two.

\n

Web attachments​

\n

The web app now supports file attachments. You can attach and send images, videos, and files\nlike a PDF, and download them from the web app too.

\n

Mobile performance​

\n

The app should feel lighter overall, for two reasons.

\n

The interface is more grouped. Related and relevant actions now sit together, which makes\nthem faster to find — you'll notice it most during playback and recording.

\n

It's faster. We sped up key actions under the hood, especially once your contacts or\nconversations have grown a lot, and improved a number of places where a weak network\nconnection caused slowness. More is on the way.

Two async podcasts​

\n

Ari Meisel finished his first two async podcast\nexperiments:

We love hearing how Carbon Voice lets conversations take a new shape once scheduling and\ncoordination stop being constraints. Usually that's about eliminating calls and meetings.\nSometimes it's a kind of conversation that wasn't possible before — which is what this is.

\n

The idea​

\n

Ari Meisel had an observation: podcasts are often performative, because the time constraints\nof the format push interviewees toward rehearsed answers instead of giving them room to think\nand explore an idea properly. He\nwrote about the async podcast\n— a conversation captured over time in Carbon Voice.

\n

His first guest was Rick Smith, CEO of Axon. They covered the story of Axon, the technology,\nthe approach to AI, and a lot of lessons about leadership and scale — nearly three hours of\ncontent over 30 days.

\n

Listen​

\n

Instead of cutting it into a traditional linear episode, Ari and Rick shared access to the\nraw conversation, transcripts and summaries included, so you can see how it actually\nunfolded.

Carbon Voice 3.0 is our biggest update yet, available now in preview.

\n

Every conversation holds context, decisions, and next steps — and too often they're lost.\n3.0 turns talk into insight, action, and knowledge, so a conversation becomes living\ndocumentation and clear next steps instead of ending. Three new tools make that work: AI\nChat, Action Items, and Notebook.

AI Chat​

\n

Search and ask questions about your conversations and voice memos in a ChatGPT-style\ninterface. Things like:

Your conversations become a knowledge base you can query.

\n

You reach AI Chat with the multi-color chat icon in the lower right of a conversation, a\nvoice memo, or Home — and where you open it decides its scope:

\n\n

AI Chats are constrained to a single workspace, fixed when the chat starts. Results vary\nwith the number of messages and how the prompt is structured — tell us when something\ndoesn't match what you expected.

\n

Action Items​

\n

AI finds the key takeaways in conversations and voice memos and turns them into a trackable\nto-do list. Assign them, mark them complete, or push them to Asana, Notion, or whatever\nproject manager you already use with the Zapier integration.

Heard this one before? \"I downloaded Carbon Voice — how do I find you in the app?\"

\n

You can now be found by your Carbon Voice username, which makes it simple for anyone to\nfind and message you.

\n

How it works​

\n
    \n
  1. Tell your contact to tap the + icon in Carbon Voice.
    2. \n
  2. They type your username, like @travis.
    3. \n
  3. That's it.
    4. \n
\n

If you already created a Personal CarbonLink,\nyour CarbonLink handle is your username. If not,\nclaim your username — it takes about 30\nseconds.

\n

Your contacts can also still reach you through:

Listen-only conversations let people listen in without the ability to post or reply.

\n

What it's for​

\n

📣 Team broadcasts. Leadership can create a listen-only conversation for company-wide\nannouncements without accidental replies cluttering an important update — especially useful\non larger teams.

\n

🔒 Private communities. Good for customer communities, coaches, or external advocates\nwho want to share quick updates like a private podcast, without clients posting back or\nseeing each other.

\n

New options in conversation settings​

At least it feels that way. We rebuilt the conversation experience around your feedback,\nand the result is a subtle change that makes conversations feel fresh and much easier to\nfollow.

\n

The feedback was consistent: you wanted a chat window that felt more familiar, had less\nclutter, and made it easier to tell your messages from everyone else's.

\n

Check the\nApp Store or\nPlay Store for the\nlatest version.

A familiar chat window​

\n
    \n
  1. Your sent messages are always on the right and shaded purple, so it's easy to scroll\nand find what you said and the replies to it. Your avatar and name are hidden, which\nfits more messages on screen.
    2. \n
  2. Unread and unheard messages are no longer shaded — look for the purple bubble around\nthe timestamp instead.

  3. The currently playing message is highlighted with a gradient behind it.

Full transcript, right up top. The transcript is now in the body of the email, so the\nrecipient can read your message instantly. It's like sending an email by speaking.

Clearer playback. The play button is clearer and sits at the top, so hearing your voice\nis one tap away.

Easy replies. One click and they're replying to your message.

To send one:

You told us it was too easy to start playback by accident in a conversation. This release\ntakes that apart in three pieces.

\n

Show More just expands now​

\n

It used to be easy to tap Show More and start playback instead. The tap area around it\nis now much larger, so that shouldn't happen.

\n

A play button on message cards​

\n

Audio messages have a new play button in the lower left. It makes audio messages easy to\nspot, and gives you somewhere to tap when you've turned tap-to-play off.

\n

Choose your tap action​

\n

You can now decide what tapping a message card does:

\n\n

Change it in Settings → Conversation History → Message Tap Action.
