Enhanced Personality and User Experience
OpenAI has recently unveiled exciting enhancements to its Advanced Voice Mode, a feature that facilitates real-time conversations in ChatGPT. This update aims to infuse the AI assistant with more personality and reduce interruptions during user interactions.
Improvements for User Satisfaction
Manuka Stratta, a post-training researcher at OpenAI, introduced these enhancements via a video on the company's official social media platforms. One notable improvement is addressing a common issue faced by AI voice assistants - the tendency to interrupt users while they gather their thoughts or take a pause.
The revamped Advanced Voice Mode now allows free ChatGPT users to pause without facing any interruptions when engaging with the AI assistant. Premium subscribers of OpenAI will benefit from reduced interruptions and a more enriched personality in their interactions with the voice assistant.
Competitive Advantages
An OpenAI spokesperson informed TechCrunch that the enhanced AI voice assistant for premium users offers responses that are "direct, engaging, concise, specific, and creative." This update is a strategic move in response to the escalating competition in the AI voice assistant sector.
Notably, Sesame, a startup backed by Andreessen Horowitz and founded by Brendan Iribe, a co-founder of Oculus, has been gaining traction for its AI voice assistants, Maya and Miles, known for their natural-sounding interactions.
