AMA: GPT-4o Audio model revolutionizes your Copilot and other AI applications

Great question! I worked on voice assistants all the way back to the early Windows Phone days (*before* Cortana!) and it's surprising how much is "old" at the same time it's "new" -- if you're familiar with voice assistant paradigms and ever struggled with the technology just "not being quite there yet" for a lot of useful scenarios, then much of this will feel very familiar. Building a rich, voice-in, voice-out product experience can be very complex to get *perfect,* but can also be surprisingly quick to get to a min-viable-product, "already delivers quite a bit of value" state. I'd highly recommend just playing around with either the playground or demo applications to get a feel for what kinds of things it makes possible; everyone I've shown off even the interactive console demos too seems to ask it to do different things, and everyone walks away with a different idea of what they'd like to do with it. But everyone's walking away wanting to make something!
