OpenAI Voice routes to GPT-6, connects to ChatGPT Work agent
The gist
Connecting voice input to an agentic work layer lets users trigger multi-step tasks by speaking rather than typing. The usage-based pricing model means costs scale with task complexity rather than a flat subscription fee.
The full picture
OpenAI Voice can route heavier spoken requests to GPT-6 class models and access plugins, and connects to ChatGPT Work, an autonomous agent for longer tasks covering documents, spreadsheets, sites, and browser automation. On the ChatGPT mobile app, Plus and Pro subscribers have access to a Work tab supporting document creation, email drafting, Slack message summarization, site and presentation creation, a cloud browser, and a finances section. ChatGPT Work launched on macOS desktop for all plans, with Windows rolling out over subsequent days; web and mobile access went live for Pro, Enterprise, and Edu plans, with Plus and Business following. Usage is metered based on task complexity, following the same structure as Codex, and Enterprise and Edu admins receive spend controls in the Admin Console.
