Episode Details

OpenAI just let ChatGPT Voice run your connected apps — September 23 release notes — so you can talk to Gmail, calendar, or Slack through the plugins your plan already allows, without typing between five tabs first.

Mike and Frank walk the official receipt: plugins inside ChatGPT Voice (Live) on web, iOS, and Android. Speak to plan-supported connected apps and follow written replies in chat. Free and Go get the plugins their plan already supports. Voice in Work can create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets by voice where you have both Voice and Work access; unfinished Work can continue in text after the call. Approvals stay on screen — spoken yes is not supported. Existing app connections, permissions, and usage limits apply. Manage caution under Settings → Plugins → Permissions; disconnect under Settings → Plugins. Official pages do not print a brand-new consumer dollar sticker for this door — do not invent one. Distinct from ChatGPT inside Microsoft Word (Ep. 234) and ChatGPT ads in HubSpot/Shopify (226).

Can Free users try it, and is there a new price?
