ChatGPT Voice Gains Hands: GPT-6 Family Powers Voice Actions for Email, Calendars and Slides
新智元 · wechat · 2026-09-24
OpenAI updated ChatGPT Voice so spoken requests can trigger real actions—checking email, moving meetings, building decks and websites—by wiring plugins and the Work agent into voice mode; tasks continue as text after the call ends. The GPT-6 family now sits behind voice (Astra for multi-step work, Sol for reasoning, Luna fastest and cheapest), while real-time chat stays on GPT-Live; free users get voice plugins and Luna on desktop. Product lead Atty Eleti: "At long last."
Limits
- Sensitive actions like sending email require on-screen confirmation
- Plus gets 3 voice hours per 24h, Pro unlimited; Work usage burns both voice time and task credits
The 125-second launch ad stars elderly women—kneading dough, throwing pottery—recovering duplicate subscription charges and building a pottery shop by voice, as OpenAI races the Gemini-powered Siri for the voice entry point.
