Live voice says what it already knows while a long answer is prepared
For everyone who works with an AI employee
Part of Chat with your AI employees on your phone and tablet
Talking with your AI employee in live voice? When your question needs a longer answer, it tells you right away what it already knows and what it will check, while the full answer is prepared.
Why it matters
A real conversation does not go silent while someone thinks. Hearing at once what your AI employee already knows, or that it took in your news, keeps the conversation going while the full answer is on its way.
- Before
- A question that needed a longer answer was usually met with silence until the full answer was ready, and news you shared could be treated as something to look up.
- Now
- Longer questions in live voice get a quick spoken answer from what your AI employee knows, and the full answer still follows in the chat.
What you get
- Right away: your AI employee tells you what it already knows about your question and what it will check next, while it works on the full answer.
- News is taken in: when you share news, it reacts to what you said and relates it to what it knows, instead of going off to look it up.
- From its own memory: the quick answer draws on the same knowledge your AI employee uses in the chat and states only what that knowledge contains.
- No stock phrases: when a quick answer cannot be put together, live voice stays quiet rather than filling the pause with a canned phrase.
- Good to know: the quick answer speaks from memory before anything is checked, so a detail can be out of date; the full answer that follows has the final word.
How to use it
Start live voice with the sound-wave button next to the microphone in the chat with your AI employee on your phone.
