This is a killer feature for me. In fact, I briefly explored building a semi-self hosted version for myself. My biggest use case for ChatGPT voice mode is when I _need_ or _want_ to be handsfree. Think working around the house/yard, Driving, Walking around the grocery store, cooking, etc. I find that I end up using my iPhone's voice-to-text then simply communicate with text mode (in the case of driving, I stop). After all, once I have to touch my phone, it's just faster to work in text mode. All of my devices know how to make calls. All of my devices know how to make calls from a voice command. All of my devices know how to hang up a call. This is really nice.

Same here. How ironic that it's not actually Apple delivering that despite being in the perfect position to do so (they have a deal with OpenAI for ChatGPT using Siri, have all the contextual knowledge they could ever need etc.) – my iOS 18.2 Siri + ChatGPT experience has been extremely disappointing so far: It seems to completely forget all context between questions, ignores me for follow-up questions 80% of the time etc.

  I agree. With the rise of LLMs, Siri is basically useless outside of triggers 3 or 4 actions on my phone (timer, call, message, play music)

I nerdishly get angry at Siri and Apple's Not Intelligence while driving. ChatGPT iPhone app i can have a whole conversation with and get things done... Siri on my iPhone 15 Pro running 18.2 is so frustratingly still dumb and a one now only two trick pony compared to the chatGPT's voice mode. Im still hoping one of Open AI's 12 day announcements is they are creating a AI Phone with Microsoft called GPT and or an Phone AI OS.

  “Hey Siri, let me talk to ChatGPT voice mode” is the only thing I really need from it, and that’s unavailable for whatever reason. “Hey Siri, call 1-800-CHATGPT” will have to do for now :)

    That's cool ... i just want an awesome new holy moly personal device and I see a GPT phone could be it. Open AI has that Facetime an AI where it sees you and your surroundings and it acts like your talking to a real human. I want that front and center in my AI phone as my personal assistant. The AI Phone's UI would be sparser.. wouldn't be a lot of UI (some app icons but not as app icon driven). While the image/video of your AI chat bot personal assistant you look and talk with could be a celebrity to a deceased relative or loved one (they live on and help you through your day to day). There's so much things to innovate and move forward from the boring iPhone! Hopefully Open AI makes an even bigger announcement of getting into the personal device business soon (or later).
