Perplexity
Voice Mode in Perplexity can now work across multiple Computer sessions at the same time. You can start new tasks, create Projects and manage existing Projects without leaving the voice session.
The update extends voice control beyond a single conversation or task. One active voice session can now cover several pieces of work running through Computer, including tasks organised inside different Projects.
Perplexity’s LinkedIn announcement says the updated mode runs on OpenAI’s gpt-live-1 model. It is available now through the Perplexity Mac app and website.
What Changed in Perplexity Voice Mode
The update brings three actions into one voice session. Users can work across multiple Computer sessions simultaneously, tell Perplexity to begin a new task, and create or manage Projects.
Running multiple Computer sessions means the voice session is not tied to one active piece of work. A user can keep several sessions in progress and address them through the same voice interaction.
New tasks can also be started without opening a separate voice session. Project controls sit in that same interaction, covering both the creation of a Project and the management of Projects that already exist.
The underlying voice model is gpt-live-1 from OpenAI. Perplexity has not published benchmark results or a comparison with the previous Voice Mode as part of this announcement.
Voice Mode Availability
The updated Voice Mode is available to all Pro and Max subscribers. It can be used on the Mac app and on the web, with the same announced set of multi-session, task and Project controls.
Access is tied to a paid Perplexity subscription. The announcement lists both Pro and Max rather than reserving the update for the higher Max tier.
