Overview
- OpenAI rolled out voice-based agent features on mobile and web on Wednesday, linking its GPT-Live conversational audio to agentic workflows that can trigger multi-step tasks in browsers and apps.
- Users can now ask ChatGPT Voice to draft documents, summarize emails or Slack threads, build spreadsheets and run background browser research without typing.
- Plus and Pro subscribers get the Work tab on mobile for voice-driven creation while Free and Go users gain access to plugins and connected apps like Gmail, Calendar and Slack.
- Some outlets reported the update uses OpenAI’s new GPT-6 model suite, but that specific technical claim has not been confirmed across the wider coverage and remains unverified.
- OpenAI added admin controls for Enterprise and education accounts to require review of sensitive actions, a design choice that responds to privacy and security concerns as the assistant gains access to inboxes, calendars and financial tools.
