Key points from the news
- OpenAI integrated its GPT‑Live voice model into ChatGPT’s web and mobile apps on Wednesday
- Demo showed the tool analysing spending, paying for a pickleball court, and updating a calendar via voice
- Eleti said over 150 million users already use ChatGPT dictation and voice‑mode tools

Eleti said more than 150 million people already use ChatGPT’s dictation and voice‑mode tools, and the company sees voice as a primary modality for future AI interactions.
