[DigitalToday reporter Chi-gyu Hwang (황치규)] OpenAI has added a voice feature to the ChatGPT desktop app, TechCrunch reported on July 24 local time.
Users can now operate ChatGPT by speaking to control AI agents and carry out tasks on a computer.
The feature is based on a new voice model family, ChatGPT-Live, unveiled earlier this month. With the update, ChatGPT’s voice function now supports carrying out actual tasks on desktop. The ChatGPT voice function for smartphones helps make conversations feel more natural, but it was not designed to run tasks directly on a phone.
The desktop version can handle complex commands that include multiple steps. If ChatGPT asks for additional input while working, users can respond and continue.
The ChatGPT voice function works in both ChatGPT Work and Codex.
Anthropic earlier updated Claude’s voice mode. Using the Opus, Sonnet and Haiku models, Claude can perform tasks in apps such as Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Notion and Canva.
