Master AI Interaction Now by Starting with Voice Mode in Gemini and ChatGPT Apps
What happened
Ethan Mollick advocates initiating AI engagement through voice input, highlighting Gemini's app and ChatGPT’s app and web interface as the top performers. These modes allow users to speak prompts naturally, facilitating hands-free and intuitive AI conversations, unlike Claude’s comparatively weaker voice functionality.
Why it matters
Using voice mode lowers the barrier to entry and enhances efficiency, especially for those who think verbally or multitask. This shifts AI workflows from typed commands to conversational interaction, which can streamline idea generation and problem-solving.
Who's doing it
Ethan Mollick, a respected academic and author on AI usage, promotes this method. Many users have reported faster and more natural AI sessions by switching to voice mode in Gemini and ChatGPT, improving productivity and engagement.

- Download the Gemini app or open ChatGPT’s app/website at https://chat.openai.com.
