OpenAI launches the long-awaited voice assistant for ChatGPT for a limited number of users.

It is worth noting that the initial debut of the mentioned digital product was postponed due to the need to address security issues.

The company will make the voice assistant available to a small group of paid ChatGPT Plus users starting Tuesday, July 30. Also, the firm said that this digital product will offer four preset voices, but won’t be able to impersonate how other people speak.

Moreover, the company added new filters to ensure the software can spot and refuse some requests to generate music or other forms of copyrighted audio.

Voice communication was one of the main topics at OpenAI’s May event to launch GPT-4o, an updated version of the GPT-4 artificial intelligence model. The mentioned machine intelligence configuration is better at handling text, audio, and images in real-time.

Last year, the company introduced a more limited option for ChatGPT to talk back to users last year. At the same time, the new feature promised to be faster and paired with powerful image-recognition capabilities to turn the chatbot into a far more useful and dynamic conversational partner.

Preliminary, the firm intended to roll out the voice assistant to a small group of paid ChatGPT Plus subscribers in late June. Over time the company needed another month to reach our bar to launch. OpenAI worked on the software’s ability to spot and refuse to respond to certain types of content and ensure it could effectively process requests from millions of users.
