Revolutionizing Productivity with ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice
I never found a helpful use case for the Action Button on my iPhone 16 Pro, so when I saw the option to map ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice, the chatbot’s voice assistant, to the Action Button, I figured it was worth a try. A month after programming the Action Button to summon ChatGPT, I reach for it daily.
Why Advanced Voice is a Game-Changer
As someone who never used ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice before, I didn’t expect to use the tool nearly as much as I do. However, holding down the button has made using Advanced Voice as easy as accessing Siri, while being much more helpful.
The Benefits of Advanced Voice
The biggest perk of using ChatGPT’s tool is that it can understand your prompts in natural language, meaning you can speak to the AI as you would a friend. Because Advanced Voice supports multi-turn conversations, you can keep the conversation going as long as you’d like without losing prior context. The tool can also access the internet, and has on-screen and camera awareness, making its assistance multi-modal.
Real-World Use Cases
To give you some ideas on how you can use Advanced Voice in your everyday life, I looked through my chat history to see how I have been using the tool lately. Here are some of my repeated use cases:
1. Cooking Dinner
When I first got into cooking, I was reliant on recipes because I didn’t have the foresight or, dare I say, talent to whip up a meal from the ingredients in my fridge. However, as of late, I have been experimenting with cooking using the ingredients and seasonings I already have in my fridge and pantry. However, sometimes I need some additional coaching — enter ChatGPT.
2. Composing an Email
The best part of using ChatGPT to compose an email is that it can take an idea and transform your thoughts into a flushed-out email. However, expressing the idea to ChatGPT can be tricky, as finding the words to type out the idea is nearly as much effort as typing out the actual email. When you use Advanced Voice, you can verbally express what you want the AI to write, rambling as much as you need.
3. Researching a Topic Thoroughly but Quickly
Keeping up with what’s happening in the world can mean additional research. Instead of turning to Google, I prefer going to ChatGPT, specifically the Advanced Voice tool when I am at home and can speak to it freely.
4. Planning a Trip
I realized how much I use ChatGPT daily when sitting at JFK Airport in New York having a full-blown conversation with the AI about what I should do in San Francisco once I landed.
5. Providing Context to What You See
Suppose you see something and have a question about it. Instead of taking a photo and reverse-searching it on Google, or attaching the photo to a chatbot text prompt, you can tap the button, click on the camera button on the bottom-left corner, and chat about what you see.
The Limits
All users can access Advanced Voice. However, the limits vary depending on your plan. OpenAI doesn’t specify the limits but does make it known that paid subscribers get more access.
Conclusion
In conclusion, ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice has revolutionized my daily life, making tasks easier and more efficient. With its natural language understanding, multi-turn conversations, and multi-modal assistance, Advanced Voice is an invaluable tool that I use daily.
