OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT can now use your open Google Chrome tabs to find information, compare details and help you complete tasks without switching between different windows. For example, you can ask ChatGPT to compare products across multiple tabs, explain an article or check different subscription plans. It can also fill out forms and draft emails. Alongside the new Chrome feature, OpenAI has also introduced an update to ChatGPT’s voice capabilities.
ChatGPT can now work with the tabs you have open in Google Chrome to provide more useful answers. In Chat mode, ChatGPT can look through your open tabs and collect relevant information. This can help when you want to compare products, research a topic, or understand information available across multiple websites.

A few big upgrades for Chrome users today! We’re bringing the power of computer use to anyone who uses Chrome. First up: ChatGPT can now use your tabs in Chrome to make answers more useful and get things done for you. If you’re in Chat, it can look across your open tabs and gather info. If you’re in Work, ChatGPT can control your Chrome tabs to get things, like sending messages, filling out forms, or downloading files. It can even help you organize and group that pile of tabs you have open.

For instance, if you have three furniture websites open, you can ask ChatGPT to compare the sofas based on their size, materials, delivery time, and return policies. You can also ask it to explain an article in simple language or compare subscription plans against your requirements.
In Work mode, ChatGPT can take things further. It can help fill out online forms, send messages, download files, and organise tabs into groups. You can also ask it to collect information from different websites and arrange the details in a comparison sheet.
Alongside the Chrome upgrade, OpenAI has announced GPT-Live-1.1 for ChatGPT, Codex and Dots. The update introduces 13 new voices and improves performance across several languages. These include French, German, Hindi, Mexican Spanish, Korean, and Japanese, along with other non-English languages.
The improvements aim to make voice interactions sound more natural and work better for people who prefer speaking to AI in languages other than English.
OpenAI said the updated voice capabilities are rolling out to all users. The company also plans to bring the update to its API soon.
