Samsung has announced a new feature for its Bixby mobile assistant that creates an AI-generated copy of a user’s voice to answer calls. The new “Custom Voice Creator” lets users record different sentences for Bixby to analyze and create an AI-generated copy of their tone and voice. Unfortunately, the feature is currently only available in Korean on Galaxy S23 series devices.
The feature is designed to let you use your AI-generated voice to answer phone calls for you when you’re unable to. For instance, if you can’t answer a phone call, you could use the new feature to type out a sentence that will be read out to the caller in your voice. Samsung says it plans to make the feature compatible with other Samsung capabilities beyond phone calls in the future.
