ChatGPT Voice Gets Plugins, GPT-6 Models and Work Mode

OpenAI's post presents ChatGPT Voice as a way to get tasks done rather than only hold a conversation. Voice can now use plugins such as email, calendar and Slack, can be powered by the GPT-6 Astra, Sol and Luna models, and can be used inside ChatGPT Work, OpenAI's agent for multi-step work across apps and files, on web and mobile. There, OpenAI says, spoken requests can produce documents, decks, sites and spreadsheets or handle complex tasks in the browser. The company says the update is rolling out globally in the latest version of the app.

The attached promotional video acts out the idea with scripted requests such as finding a free half hour on a calendar, emailing a marina to book a boat rental and building a simple website to sell pottery. It was available here only as an automatic speech transcript, with the visuals not reviewed, and it is a demo rather than an explanation of how the features work. The post does not say which plugins are supported beyond the three it names, how permissions or confirmations work when Voice acts on someone's behalf, or how the three models are assigned. Collection of the surrounding thread was incomplete, so any follow-up posts were not reviewed.
