How voice assistant works with ChatGPT
But how does it workSkoda’s voice assistant with ChatGPT? Currently, the voice assistant already allows control of infotainment, navigation and air conditioning, as well as answering general knowledge questions. However, with the support ofartificial intelligencethe system will be able to provide further information, answering even more complex questions and adapting to ever-growing needs.
Operation of the voice assistant will remain incredibly simple and intuitive: simply say “Ok, Laura” or press the dedicated button on the multifunction steering wheel to activate the voice response. If a request cannot be satisfied directly by the Skoda system, it will be forwarded anonymously to the artificial intelligence.
