Anthropic upgraded Claude’s voice mode by integrating its high-performance Opus and Sonnet models. This update replaces the previous Haiku-only limitation, enabling complex reasoning and in-depth voice conversations across mobile and desktop platforms.

The voice assistant now executes tasks within external applications including Google’s Gmail, Salesforce’s Slack, and Notion. Users can verbally command Claude to summarize emails or manage calendar events directly.

These integrated AI actions place Anthropic in direct competition with OpenAI’s ChatGPT voice capabilities. The move accelerates the industry race to develop functional AI agents.
