Overview
- Voice sessions connect to an OpenAI model via an encrypted relay that DuckDuckGo says it cannot decrypt, streaming microphone audio in real time.
- The assistant returns both spoken answers and on-screen text during conversations.
- DuckDuckGo says recordings are handled ephemerally, are not stored by either company after a chat, and are excluded from model training under contractual limits.
- Use is optional, works without an account, can be toggled in Duck.ai settings, and has daily limits with higher caps for subscribers.
- The feature is available in most modern browsers now, with Firefox support listed as coming soon.
