Turn Your Iphone ‘Action Button’ into a ChatGPT Assistant

The Iphone 15 Pro and Pro Max models allow users to customize the action button, which can be used to turn your device into a ChatGPT voice assistant.

OpenAI announced on 22nd November that the ChatGPT Voice feature will now be available to all free users. The feature was initially launched in September for ChatGPT premium users. This voice feature can create human-like voices from text prompts with the help of just a few seconds of sample speech.

OpenAI has worked with several voice actors to develop five distinct AI voices. Its open-source speech recognition system, Whisper, aids in converting text to speech.

Users can now combine both these features - ChatGPT voice and iPhone's action button, to turn their devices into a live assistant. Users can even do away with Siri as their main assistant.

How To Enable ChatGPT Voice With The Action Button

Here's how you can activate ChatGPT voice with the new iPhone action button.

• Open the iOS settings and scroll to the Action Button" settings.
• Scroll down to the Shortcut" option and click on Choose a Shortcut".
• From the list of apps on your phone, select ChatGPT.
• Next, select the Shortcut Start voice conversation" to link the activity to the Action button.

Once done, you simply need to hold the action button and ask any question you might have in mind. It works just like Siri, only smarter.

Other Apps That Work With The Action Button

ChatGPT isn't the first app that works with the new action button. In fact, a lot of apps have embraced the new iPhone tech, making their apps compatible. Here are your options.
