OpenAI this week continued its rollout of ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode by adding support for web browsers.
Previously, the feature was only available on the desktop and mobile apps. "You can now talk to ChatGPT right from your browser," Kevin Weil, OpenAI's CPO, tweeted alongside a short video showing Advanced Voice Mode responding to an inquiry about Greek mythology.
To start, web access is limited to paid users with a Plus, Enterprise, Teams, or Edu account. "We'll look to roll to free users in the coming weeks," Weil says.
Voice mode on the web uses OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o model, so it should work the same as it does on the mobile and desktop apps, providing a natural-sounding back-and-forth with the AI.
After a delay, OpenAI started a small Advanced Voice Mode rollout in July before a larger release to Plus and Team users in September.
This comes after OpenAI launched an official Windows ChatGPT app last week, which lets you open a "companion window" on your PC and easily use the AI chatbot alongside any other Windows programs. An update to the ChatGPT app for macOS also added the ability to read computer code from third-party apps.
OpenAI is also rumored to be working on allowing ChatGPT to see what you're doing on your device and use that information to take action. Per TechRadar, this Operator Agent is the next great race between OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic and may change how people interact with AI on their computers.
