OpenAI updates voice assistant functions to improve conversation fluency

OpenAI released an update on its advanced voice mode on Monday, allowing users to have real-time conversations with ChatGPT. The updated voice assistant is more humanized in communication, reducing the frequency of interruption to users. OpenAI's post-training researcher Manuka Stratta made the announcement on the company's official social media channels through a video.

This update is designed to solve common problems with AI voice assistants, which are frequent interruptions when users think or take deep breaths. Now all ChatGPT free users can experience the new version of the Advanced Voice Mode, which allows users to pause without interruption when talking to the AI ​​Assistant. At the same time, paid users, including subscription users of OpenAI's Plus, Teams, Edu, Business and Pro, will also reduce the frequency of interruptions when using advanced voice mode, and the personalized performance of the voice assistant has been further improved.

A spokesperson for OpenAI said the new AI voice assistant is "more direct, engaging, concise, specific and creative" for paying users. This improvement not only improves the user experience, but also reflects OpenAI's strong response to competitors.

In the field of AI voice assistants, OpenAI faces fierce competition from all parties. For example, the startup Sesame, founded by Oculus co-founder Brendan Iribe, has recently become popular for its natural and smooth AI voice assistants Maya and Miles. In addition, industry giants like Amazon are stepping up their pace to launch their new version of Alexa based on the Big Language Model (LLM). These competitions drive the continuous innovation and progress of AI voice assistants.

Through this update, OpenAI not only improves the practicality of the product, but also strives for more advantages in the market competition of AI assistants, providing users with a more friendly interactive experience.
