Feature Request – A customizable 3D avatar for ChatGPT Voice
Dear OpenAI team,
I would like to suggest a new feature for ChatGPT: an optional, customizable and interactive 3D avatar during voice conversations.
Today, ChatGPT Voice offers a natural way to communicate, but I believe the experience could become even more engaging with a visual presence.
My idea
Allow users to create or choose a permanent 3D avatar representing their ChatGPT assistant.
The avatar could offer:
- Personalization: choose facial features, hairstyle, clothing and overall appearance.
- Realistic animation: natural head movements, blinking, facial expressions and gestures.
- Voice synchronization: accurate lip movements matching the assistant’s spoken words.
- Emotional expressions: thoughtful, happy, surprised or attentive expressions depending on the conversation.
- Continuity: the same avatar, voice and visual identity across conversations.
- Interactive display: portrait mode, full-body mode or a discreet interface.
An important detail
The feature should remain optional. Users who prefer the existing voice interface should be able to keep it.
Privacy and transparency should also remain priorities: users must always know they are interacting with artificial intelligence.
Why I think this matters
A customizable 3D avatar could make voice conversations more natural, accessible and enjoyable.
It would give users a visual identity they can recognize and personalize, while preserving everything they already appreciate about ChatGPT.
Thank you for considering this suggestion and for continuing to improve ChatGPT.
Steph
