OpenAI's GPT-Live doesn't just add a new feature to ChatGPT — it fundamentally changes what it feels like to talk to a machine. For the first time, a mainstream AI can listen and speak at the same time, closing the gap between software and human conversation. OpenAI launched GPT-Live on Wednesday as a new family of real-time voice models built on full-duplex audio — meaning both channels stay open simultaneously, so you can interrupt, hesitate, or redirect mid-sentence. Wired into ChatGPT's broader ecosystem of agents and tools, GPT-Live doesn't just respond to questions; it can draft emails, summarize documents, and book meetings — all out loud, in a single flowing conversation. The implications run from workplace productivity to accessibility to customer service jobs that may never come back. Full breakdown in today's episode — including the privacy steps worth taking before you hand over your microphone. New AI news every weekday — subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's story.
