OpenAI rolls out Advanced Voice Mode to all paid ChatGPT users

OpenAI just announced that it is beginning to roll out ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode to all paid users starting this week.?

What you should know:

• Advanced Voice Mode marks a significant step forward for ChatGPT’s conversational abilities. It produces speech in real-time rather than converting text responses into audio like previous models.?
• OpenAI also introduced Custom Instructions, which allow users to personalize ChatGPT’s responses, and Memory, allowing ChatGPT to remember conversations for future interactions.
• Advanced Voice Mode is rolling out to Plus and Teams users this week. Enterprise and Edu customers will begin receiving access next week.?
• OpenAI still hasn’t announced the launch of ChatGPT’s highly anticipated video and screen sharing feature, which lets GPT-4o simultaneously process visual and audible information.?

Why it matters: Advanced Voice Mode enables ChatGPT to engage in much more natural conversations with users, achieving almost instantaneous response times. This is an important launch as Apple prepares to integrate ChatGPT into its AI platform on iOS 18, which will bring an upgraded voice assistant to millions of iPhone users around the world.?
