OpenAI’s 2024 event: Live updates for ChatGPT product reveals and demos

ChatGPT now has Projects to organize your chats

Today’s reveal was the introduction of Projects, a new Notion or Google Drive-like interface that allows users to make custom folders for their chats. Users can also upload files, set instructions to a specific project, and tailor multiple chats to the project itself. OpenAI said that tools like Search and Canvas also work within projects.

The team rolled out the feature at the end of the stream and said it will be gradually available to Plus, Pro, and Teams users throughout the day, with free users getting access “as soon as possible.”

Santa is coming to Advanced Voice Mode

OpenAI revealed a new, seasonally appropriate voice for its Advanced Voice Mode: Jolly Old Santa. Through the month of December, users can talk with the AI Santa like they would any of ChatGPT’s other voices across all devices that have Advanced Voice Mode. On the ChatGPT app, you can also have Santa talk through what it sees from your camera or on your phone screen. The new voice is accompanied by a snow-globe like version of its blue orb interface.

Advanced Voice Mode is finally getting vision capabilities

OpenAI has released the real-time video capabilities for ChatGPT that it demoed nearly seven months ago. Using the ChatGPT app, users subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro plans can point their phones at objects and have ChatGPT respond in near-real-time. The feature can also understand what’s on a device’s screen through screen sharing.
