Hi from Siteefy 👋
🎙️ Tell an AI voice how to speak
ElevenLabs turns written scripts into spoken audio for videos, lessons and audiobooks.
ElevenLabs released Eleven v4 on September 28. Its new voice model lets you add instructions to your text, such as [whispers], [laughs] and [door slams].
ElevenLabs’ example: instructions added to the text.
What changed: ElevenLabs says v4 follows these instructions more accurately than v3.
Good to know: Listen to voice examples. No account needed. Choose “Multi-speaker” to hear several voices in one conversation.
The free plan includes 10,000 credits a month. You need a paid plan for business use.
🟡 OpenAI DevDay: an assistant for your ongoing work
At its DevDay event on September 29, OpenAI introduced Dots: a personal AI assistant for ongoing work.
OpenAI’s illustration: a dot keeps working between chats.
Give your dot an ongoing responsibility. It can follow changes, decide when to check back and ask for your decisions. You can reach the same assistant in ChatGPT, Slack or Teams.
What you could ask it to handle:
Your day: check email and calendar each morning, prepare meeting notes and draft replies.
A client project: follow new requests and update a proposal as your client’s needs change.
Coding work: start a Codex task, check its results and send follow-up instructions.
Connect the apps it needs and set its permissions. To use files on your computer, that computer must be online with ChatGPT open.
Good to know: ChatGPT Work and Codex already handle long tasks and scheduled work. Dots add one assistant to coordinate several jobs: it remembers your priorities, gives tasks to Work or Codex, and follows up on their results.
Who can use it: OpenAI is adding access for some Pro users over 18 outside the European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland. Business Premium and Enterprise users can get access worldwide. An Enterprise admin must turn it on. Check availability →
Also at DevDay: ChatGPT Space for shared documents, and the ability to continue a Work task from your computer in a browser or on your phone.
✨ Google announces Gemini 4
Google announced Gemini 4 Argon on September 30. Google says its new AI model can handle longer coding, research and writing tasks.
Can you try it? Access is limited to selected testers. Paid API customers and Google AI Ultra subscribers are next, but Google has not announced a date.
