- Anthropic is rolling out a 'voice mode' beta for its Claude chatbot apps, enabling spoken conversations.
- Voice mode allows users to interact with Claude via voice, with responses also in voice, making it hands-free.
- The feature includes five distinct voice options and displays key points on-screen as Claude speaks.
- Users can switch between text and voice modes and receive a transcript and summary post-conversation.
- Voice conversations count towards usage caps, with free users limited to 20-30 conversations.
- Paid subscribers can access a Google Workspace connector for Calendar and Gmail, with Docs integration exclusive to Enterprise plans.
- Anthropic's CPO mentioned partnerships with Amazon and ElevenLabs for future voice features, though current collaborations are unclear.
- Other AI companies like OpenAI and Google also offer voice chat experiences for their chatbots.
