ChatGPT has gained multimodal capabilities, allowing it to receive and respond to image and voice inputs. This new feature will make ChatGPT even more helpful in a variety of tasks, such as solving math problems, identifying objects, and providing recipes.

To use the image input feature, users simply need to snap a picture of what they are looking at and add the question they’d like an answer to. ChatGPT will then analyze the image and provide a response. For example, users could use this feature to identify the name of a plant, look up the nutritional information of a food item, or get help solving a math problem.

The voice input and output feature gives ChatGPT the same functionality as a voice assistant. Users can now ask ChatGPT to perform tasks or answer questions simply by speaking. ChatGPT will then process the request and respond verbally.
