OpenAI shows GPT-4o, which can see, hear and talk in real time; ChatGPT gets it now, with voice to follow.

Said to kill

  • Amazon AlexaStill fine

    GPT-4o could talk in real time, show emotion and understand what its camera saw, so writers said older assistants like Alexa seemed outdated.

    Alexa+ opened to all US users, Feb 2026

  • DuolingoStill fine

    GPT-4o was shown translating speech in real time and helping people learn, so writers suggested apps like Duolingo could become unnecessary.

  • GPT-4o could handle natural voice conversations on a phone, so people asked why they would pay for a separate screenless AI device.

  • SiriStill fine

    GPT-4o could hold a real-time spoken conversation, be interrupted and see through a phone camera, which Siri then could not do.
