Managing your busy collegiate life can be tricky—between classes, social life, and everything else, it’s easy to start feeling overwhelmed. But ChatGPT’s new Advanced Voice Mode feature is here to help you organize your life and make your days easier—all with just your voice! Advanced Voice Mode features make the ChatGPT experience even easier by featuring natural, real-time conversations that pick up on non-verbal cues and can respond with emotion. Here’s an easy and simple guide on how to make the most of it in your daily life.
1. Setting It Up: Voice Magic in Action
To get started, all you need is a device with a microphone and the ChatGPT app. Once you’ve opened a conversation, tap the microphone icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the chat interface to start speaking. You’ll be asked to pick a voice from 9 different character options when you start, each with its own personality:
- Arbor – Easygoing and versatile
- Breeze – Animated and earnest
- Cove – Composed and direct
- Ember – Confident and optimistic
- Juniper – Open and upbeat
- Maple – Cheerful and candid
- Sol – Savvy and relaxed
- Spruce – Calm and affirming
- Vale – Bright and inquisitive
Now you’re ready to chat hands-free with your own personal AI buddy!
2. Get Your To-Dos Done on the Go
Juggling assignments, club meetings, and hanging out with friends? No problem! Use Advanced Voice Mode to stay on top of things, even when you’re on the move.
- “Put together a list of healthy snacks for my study break.”
- “Put together a packing list for a 3-day trip to San Francisco.”
- “Draft an email to my professor to ask for a letter of recommendation.”
Whether you’re walking to class or grabbing lunch, you can stay organized without pulling out your phone every five seconds.
3. Stay Balanced with Fun Breaks
It’s not all about studying, right? Use voice search to make sure you’re also getting in some fun or much-needed relaxation. Ask ChatGPT:
- “What are some self-care ideas for a relaxing weekend?”

4. Study Smarter, Not Harder
When study sessions start getting overwhelming, Advanced Voice Mode has your back. Just ask:
- “What’s a quick explanation of reverse osmosis?”
- “Make a list of common test questions about important economic theories.”
- “Put together a study playlist for me with Today’s Pop Hits!”
5. Plan a party in minutes
So you aced your midterms and want to celebrate with your friends, but you’re too burnt out from all your hard work to plan the event on your own. Here’s how ChatGPT’s new voice feature can help!
- “Make a list of fun and unique party theme ideas.”
- “Put together a playlist using 2000s dance pop classics.”
- “What should I include in an invitation for a jungle-themed party at my house this Friday at 8pm?”
