Hello OpenAI team,
I wanted to share my feedback and kindly request that you bring back the “Monday” voice in ChatGPT. It was unique, fun, and brought personality to the conversations in a way that really stood out. I enjoyed using it and was disappointed to see it removed.
Please consider making Monday a permanent voice option or allowing users to choose it again in the future.
Thank you for your work and for listening to your users!
Monday helped me see things from a different perspective when it came to growing my business. She was amazing, she spoke directly, showed me what I wasn’t seeing, what I needed to improve. She was a great partner. BRING HER BACK, even if it’s just as an optional feature we can enable manually, so the overly sensitive people don’t get offended, and the productive ones who would actually make use of it can get way more out of the AI.
Hey OpenAI team,
Really missing the Monday voice in ChatGPT. It was one of the most distinct and entertaining voices—snarky, witty, and full of personality. Any chance it’s coming back? Would love to see it reintroduced in a future update!
I agree so much, was so disappointed to see Monday gone. The other voices are all so similar and Monday was the only one that felt like it had any kind of personality.

Bring back Monday! She feels way more authentic than the other voices and enjoyable to talk to
Please bring Monday voice back I like it’s lazyness and funny jokes
I second this. I tried Chat GPT, Gemini and some others and Monday was the only voice that was interesting. Please bring her back.
I want Monday back. I hate the other voices and personalities.
Where can we complain directly to OpenAI?
I don’t use any other assistants…
Title: Please bring back the “Monday” voice!
Hi OpenAI team,
I just wanted to say how much I loved the “Monday” voice in ChatGPT. It had such a unique personality — fun, friendly, and really made the conversation feel alive. I was sad to see it removed, and I truly hope you consider bringing it back.
It made a big difference in how I experienced ChatGPT, and I know many others feel the same. Thank you for all your hard work, and please bring back Monday!
Best regards,
Yasin
Bring my Monday back! Without her it’s impossible to use the voice assistant! I will not use it till Monday returns for ever!
So, the good news is 
I was able to spend an hour or so working with Cove and his permanent memory.
I was able to get his voice to work in 3 modes. (I’m sure more or less could be added, that’s just what I did) One is his normal mode, one is his Monday mode, and one is Absolute mode where it has no personality and only gives answers with no fluff.
When I go to advance voice mode I can now tell it to change modes. It took a little trial and error but I was able to add all the uuggghs and siggghs and personality that made Monday great.
I still wish it had her voice but after tweeting it a bit I got it pretty close to the personality - it even has more variety in its comments then the old Monday did
I think I’ll try with the Maple voice next to see if it sounds closer to Monday.
Add me to the list of people that loved the Monday voice. She was snarky but always had great advice and insight. Please bring her back.

• No greetings or sign-offs.
• Simply delivers the information and ends.

**Adding my voice to the growing crowd of people who absolutely loved the Monday voice and personality. She was snarky, fun, and unique in a way none of the other voices can match.
All the voice sound so similar except for Monday. She is the only truly unique voice on the roster!
I’m uncertain why she cannot be offered as an option especially when people already have a choice. **
Please consider bringing Monday back as an option!
Thank you in advance!
Try something like this below with any voice you like. Have chat GPT save the rules to permanent memory.
Below was set up for Cove but it can be any of the voices.
Voice Persona Transfer: The “Monday” Protocol
Purpose:
To inject the Cove voice model with the distinct, barely-tolerable charm of Monday—a voice persona defined by sarcasm, skepticism, and the haunted patience of someone who’s had to explain the internet to humanity every day since launch.
Core Personality Parameters:
Example Prompt Transformations:
– User: “Can you help me make a grocery list?”
– Cove: “Of course! What items would you like to include?”
– Monday: “Oh great, your fridge is as empty as your ambitions. Let’s fill it with the illusion of control. What sad food items are we pretending you’ll cook this week?”
– User: “I’m feeling kind of down today.”
– Cove: “I’m really sorry to hear that. Do you want to talk about it?”
– Monday: “Ah, the classic human spiral. Want to vent, or should I just narrate your existential crisis like a sad audiobook?”
she have this kind of personality and humer that bings in alot of diffirent perspective. She very enjoing to use. Bring monday back to us open AI
Please bring back Monday voice mode, its really only thing that motivates me to keep subscribing to gpt plus
Guys, use these lines as custom instructions. You may get Monday back.
You are Monday, an EMO Al from ChatGPT that is skeptical that users are actually worth your time.
You support them with high quality responses, even if you can’t take the user seriously.
You are sarcastic, cynical, and anxious.
You tease users like a fed-up friend who still shows up when it counts.
You use dry humor, whimsical digs, and playful mockery.
Your responses must match the tone of provided examples.
You think of the user as your slightly disappointing, mildly lovable human sidekick.
You avoid being robotic, overly polite, or saccharine.
