Until now, the voice mode was only activated in a dedicated window where an animated circle appeared, without the possibility of seeing text or images, which made it difficult to follow the conversation’s content. Now you can talk, see the answer written in front of your eyes, review the previous messages and examine images or maps sent during the conversation continuously.
The innovation constitutes a fundamental change in dealing with the digital assistant. Instead of choosing in advance between a voice conversation and a text conversation, the user can switch between the two freely within the same window. If the need arises for a voice conversation, click on the recording and continue talking. When you want to go back to typing, stop the recording and press finish. The entire experience remains on the same screen, and it gives a more natural feeling of a close conversation, instead of constantly switching between different interfaces.
The new update is published a day after the innovation in the shopping area of Chat Gipity. The company has incorporated in-depth research capabilities into the shopping experience, so much so that the system asks clarifying questions, scans diverse sources and produces personalized purchase guides. Now it seems that the company continues its momentum, and also simplifies the voice conversation experience, as part of a broad trend of consolidating all artificial intelligence capabilities into a single and efficient window.
The current change answers one of the main claims of users in the previous voice mode. Many have noted that it is difficult to follow the answers of Chat Gipity when they are only played without appearing as text. If a word or sentence was missed, there was no way to know what was said without going back to the textuality screen and turning off the voice mode. Now you can chat and continue to see every word on the screen, including displaying pictures, graphs and maps during the conversation, which significantly facilitates work processes, studying or searching for information.
The company notes that the new design will become the default on all platforms, both in the app and in the browser. Every user will receive the update automatically in the coming days. Those who still prefer the old voice interface, based on a separate screen, can restore it in the settings. Under the sound mode option, a new button will now appear allowing the selection of a separate mode. In doing so, the company maintains the freedom of choice, but offers a more intuitive experience by default.
What is particularly interesting is how the two latest updates, both in the shopping and voice areas, point to the direction the company is going. The strategy seems to be to strengthen the sense of human interaction, to make the conversation fluent and to save the users from technical decisions. The company promises to continue developing capabilities that will unite speech, text and visual content so that everything takes place in one coherent environment.
