New features in the ChatGPT experience begin with the launch of Advanced Voice Mode, which promises to deliver an immersive interactive experience for users. This mode aims to improve the way we interact with AI by using voice more effectively, making conversations sound more natural and fluid. With the spotlight on this update, many users are eager to explore how this feature can enhance their daily experiences. In this article, we'll take a look at the features of Advanced Voice Mode and how you can play a part in this new experience.
ChatGPT's advanced voice mode is rolling out, and you might be one of the lucky ones.
A new leak on X.com appears to confirm that a select group of ChatGPT Plus users will gain access to Advanced Voice mode today, Tuesday, September 24, 2024.
Advanced Voice mode, introduced by OpenAI in May of this year, allows you to talk to ChatGPT on your smartphone and engage in a human-like conversation, with the ability to interrupt the chatbot if its responses take too long. You can also ask it complex questions and expect a detailed response.
The leak appears to be an email from the ChatGPT team informing the user that Advanced Voice mode is “rolling out in limited beta to a select group of users.” It states that access to the Advanced mode’s alpha release on September 24, 2024, “will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to participation invitations and the specific criteria for the beta testing phase.” This all seems like a very roundabout way of saying that not everyone can expect to receive it.

Open AI originally stated that "all Plus users will have access by the end of the fall," so we don't expect a full rollout of the technology just yet. However, if more Plus users gain access to the beta, it's an encouraging sign that we can expect a full rollout on schedule.
Being a ChatGPT premium user requires a $20 (£16, AU$30) monthly subscription, but it gives you access to a range of LLMs, including the new 01-preview version, which was recently launched and has proven to be much better at solving math and logic problems than previous versions of the chatbot.
While OpenAI initially led the way when it demonstrated its advanced voice mode for real-life conversations, it's starting to fall behind. Google has already beaten it to the launch of Gemini Live, Google's version of conversational AI. While Apple has yet to launch Siri 2.0, its AI-powered smart assistant, we've seen some demos and have a timeline for its launch, which means we may get it sooner than we think.
The launch of ChatGPT's advanced voice mode represents an important step toward improving users' experience interacting with AI. This update enables ChatGPT users to communicate in a more natural and fluid manner, enhancing the effectiveness of conversations and making them more interactive. This new feature opens the door to a wide range of uses that can make interacting with technology more enjoyable and beneficial. Many users are eager to explore the new possibilities offered by the advanced voice mode and how it can improve their overall experience with ChatGPT.
