During its Summer Product Release on Thursday, Openi announced that Advanced Voice Mode, AI-Interested Voice Assistant who mimics a human conversation, is now available to all users including free log-in users.

Since the feature launched in September last year, it has become one of my favorite features, and I arrive for it almost every day. If you are wondering what the new experience will be, then why you should use it, and how it compares the standard voice mode, keep reading below.
What are advanced voice mod allowance?
If you have ever used a voice accessory like Siri and are disappointed that it does not understand what you are asking until you give it a very special word, AI-in-operated assistants, such as the voice of chat, address that issue. With the sound of Chatgpt, you can stop the fact that without speaking you are thinking that your thinking train is over or you have been cut.

You can also talk about this like you will be a human being with non-lectured, train-off-three commands. For example, “What is the weather?” You can say, “I am going on a run in Brooklyn today and wondering how the weather is so I know what to wear,” and the voice of chat will understand your request. To continue to help in that free-flowing dialogue experience, advanced voice supports multi-turn conversations, so you can continue the conversation as long as you want to lose pre-reference.
Another advantage is that it references your surroundings with video and screen share options, which helps the assistant understand its surroundings and uses that reference to provide more informed and relevant answers. A part of the Thursday’s wave of the update is that the voice of the chatgpt can be better for the user, better understand their instructions and adjust their speaking style in the moment.
How to use advanced voice mode?
To access it, click on the Waveform icon next to the text bar on the chat. If it is using your first time, you can choose what voice you want to chat with. Even though it is free to use, but you will need to log in to your Openai account, which is also free to create. Openai also stated that the paid users would still have “too much use limits”, with no specificity.
