ChatGPT mobile app gets voice-based agentic features
Pro and Plus users will be able to use the Work tab on their phones to complete agentic tasks.
OpenAI has unveiled voice-based agentic features for its mobile ChatGPT app, enabling users to trigger workflows such as drafting documents, summarizing emails, and more. These advanced capabilities are available to Plus and Pro subscribers through the app's Work tab. Users can create documents, draft emails, summarize Slack messages, build websites, generate presentations, utilize the cloud browser, access financial information within ChatGPT, and engage in other tasks previously reserved for Plus and Pro users. Meanwhile, Free and Go users will have access to plugins and connected apps.
OpenAI's voice conversations within ChatGPT will yield richer text outputs, and users will be able to seamlessly transition between text and voice modes. Moreover, conversations can be initiated on the go and resumed on a desktop device, providing users with increased flexibility and convenience. This new feature comes as more users are leveraging voice commands for complex tasks with AI assistants.
In July, OpenAI introduced its conversational model GPT-Live and later integrated it into the desktop app, allowing users to employ voice commands for tasks within the Work tab or build applications in the Codex tab.
The rollout of these features to the mobile app mirrors the expanded capabilities introduced on the desktop platform. Recently, Anthropic has streamlined the handoff between mobile and desktop environments and merged its Cowork and Chat interfaces. However, OpenAI continues to maintain separate chat and workspace functionalities within its ChatGPT ecosystem.
