ChatGPT Brings Voice Agents to Mobile

OpenAI is moving hands-free AI workflows from desktop to phone.

The Rundown

The Details

•Plus and Pro users can use voice to start Work tab tasks on mobile.
•Examples include drafting emails/documents, summarizing Slack messages, creating presentations, and building sites.
•Free and Go users will get access to plugins and connected apps.
•Users can switch between text and voice and continue work across mobile and desktop.
