I've been waiting for this! I'm learning Spanish so I built an app to teach me Spanish, but hyperfocused on scenarios in my life, for example "watching a Barça match in a Barcelona bar". It does FSRS flashcard training, and live conversation practice.

I think education is a very underexplored area for these live conversation models. Yes you can just use ChatGPT Live but that's freeform and unstructured, doesn't have a curriculum or can present supporting visuals, etc. On a grand scale if you can give children their own personal individual tutor rather than relying on group teaching alone, there could be a huge jump in successful education outcomes.

All voices offered sound human. I'd prefer a robotic voice, to avoid over-anthropomorphizing the AI.

Can't wait till a customer rep is impossible to get to because all support is outsourced to ai.

hopefully this come in openrouter api cause I'm not signing up for a specific provider's specific api platform, and have yet another thing that can bill me.

Damn, this was a terrible showcase of their voice API, I really love their product. It's the fucking best, a life changer. But... what a meh showcase.

Is somebody from OpenAI hiring? I can show how I use it to learn German, among other very interesting usages.

Also show proper excitement etc... I think also a lot of real users could do better.

It feels like they aren't real users of their own products...

and yet another showcase of making automated restaurant reservations. It truly is the purpose of AGI, and all software ever, really, to automate that experience.

It baffles me that the labs can't come up with more exciting use cases for voice api.
