OpenAI Expands ChatGPT Voice to Apps and Work Tasks

OpenAI has expanded ChatGPT Voice to connected apps and work tasks, allowing users to use spoken prompts to draw on services such as email, calendars and Slack and to create documents, presentations and spreadsheets. The company said the features are rolling out across mobile and web, though reports differ on which capabilities are available to each subscription tier. OpenAI said connected-app access lets ChatGPT Voice handle tasks using linked services. Examples described in demonstrations included looking up calendar events and drafting emails. Reports also described more consequential examples, such as canceling duplicate charges, but the available information does not establish whether those actions are broadly supported or were limited to demonstrations. The update also brings voice access to ChatGPT Work, OpenAI’s system for carrying out multistep tasks and producing work materials. The company said users can create documents, presentations and spreadsheets by speaking.
