OpenAI announced Wednesday that it is bringing voice-based agent functionality to mobile, allowing users to trigger workflows such as document drafts and email summaries.
Plus and Pro users can use the Work tab on their phone to create documents, draft emails, summarize Slack messages, and more. These subscribers can do things like build sites, create presentations, use cloud browsers, and also have access to other areas like ChatGPT’s finances. Free and Go users, on the other hand, will be able to use plugins and connected apps.
OpenAI said ChatGPT voice conversations will allow for richer text output. Additionally, users can easily switch between text and audio. You can also start working on a conversation on the go and resume it on your desktop.
The feature comes as more users are turning to voice to command AI assistants to complete complex tasks.
OpenAI announced a new conversation model, GPT-Live, in July, and the company has since integrated it with its desktop app, allowing users to use voice to complete tasks in the (Work) tab and build apps in the (Codex) tab. The new rollout brings similar functionality to the mobile app.
Recently, Anthropic has made the handover easier between mobile and desktop, and also integrated Cowork and Chat interfaces. However, OpenAI still separates chat and workspace.
