Anthropic launched Claude voice mode with Google services integration
Voice interfaces are transforming human interaction with artificial intelligence, and Anthropic company is making a significant step in this direction. In Claude assistant, gradual implementation of voice mode has begun with clearly defined technical parameters and functional limitations. At the current stage, voice communication is available only in English for now, but other languages will appear over time.
Functionality is limited to mobile applications for now and is absent in web version and desktop clients. But the company implements a democratic distribution model – voice mode becomes available to users of all tariff plans, including free. For non-premium accounts, a quantitative limit is set – up to 30 voice messages, which provides basic familiarity with technology without full immersion.
There are also basic scenarios: day planning with overview of meetings and emails, learning in dialogue format during everyday activities, storing ideas for creative thinking. As well as interview rehearsal.
Functional integration with Google ecosystem services demonstrates Anthropic’s strategic positioning in the competitive environment of voice assistants. Users can request information from Google Calendar, check Gmail inbox contents and search for documents on Google Drive through voice commands.
