OpenAI has released a significant update for the ChatGPT desktop app, introducing GPT Voice mode powered by GPT-Live. This allows users to verbally coordinate tasks and work through projects directly within the app.

GPT Voice on desktop supports integration with OpenAI's Computer Use feature, local files, and plugins. For Mac users, a new Appshots capability enables ChatGPT to reference the active window for enhanced context when using voice commands. Voice functionality is available on Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans for both macOS and Windows.

The update also enhances project folder management, allowing local projects to include multiple related folders. This improves the organization and discoverability of project elements. The integration of GPT Voice with features like Codex aims to provide a more intuitive and powerful way to interact with AI for work.
