ChatGPT Voice has received a major update. The globally available voice feature now runs on OpenAI's new GPT-6 Astra, Sol, and Luna models. For the first time, the tool can access plugins like email, calendar, and Slack.
Users can handle tasks directly by voice. These tasks include looking up calendar events and sending emails. Users can also have ChatGPT spot and cancel duplicate charges in finance apps. Another capability is building a website with a checkout page.
OpenAI showcased several everyday scenarios in a demo video. The demonstration featured weather lookups and online shopping.
Voice also functions in ChatGPT Work on web and mobile. Users can create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets just by talking.
The updated feature is available now in the latest app version.
For OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, this release represents another step toward an everyday AI assistant. The company models this vision after the one in the science fiction film Her.
Altman cited the movie as a reference back in 2024 when the first ChatGPT Voice version launched. OpenAI sees the potential to change how people use computers. This approach also comes with risks.
Users can access the new capabilities immediately through the latest app version.
