Perplexity upgrades Mac app with ChatGPT-powered voice mode

Earlier this year, OpenAI unveiled its gpt-live-1 voice model. This includes the ability for the model to listen to you while it speaks. Starting today, Perplexity has upgraded its Mac app voice mode by using gpt-live-1 under the hood.

The ability for gpt-live-1 to listen while it speaks is still an impressive capability of ChatGPT’s state-of-the-art voice model after several months. Deploying the advanced voice model to Perplexity’s desktop app voice mode is a great way to enhance the overall experience for Pro and Max subscribers.

You can see the new feature in action below:

Separately, Perplexity recently launched the ability to run AI directly on the Mac without relying on cloud models. This unlocks offline mode as well as privacy-focused AI workflows.
