With a fair amount of system integration (no wake word available) missing, of course. Which rather sounds like a feature.

ChatGPT started as a text-only generative AI but received voice and image input capabilities in September.

Usually, it's the Google Assistant with system-wide availability in Android, but that's not special home cooking from Google—it all happens via public APIs that technically any app can plug into.

The assistant APIs are designed to be powerful, keeping some parts of the app running 24/7 no matter where you are.

Rahman found that ChatGPT version 1.2023.352, released last month, included a new activity named "com.openai.voice.assistant.AssistantActivity."

As with Bixby and Alexa, there are no good apps to host your notes, reminders, calendar entries, shopping list items, or any other input-based functions you might want to do.

It's also reportedly working on a different assistant, "Pixie," which would apparently launch with the Pixel 9, but that will be near the end of 2024.
