Is there an AI I can have a verbal conversation with?

05 January 2026 AI Companions

A candid iPhone snapshot in a slightly messy home office: a male in his late 40s (mixed-race, medium skin tone, muscular build—not a bodybuilder) wearing a smart-casual knit sweater and chinos, undercut with textured top, sitting at a cluttered desk with a laptop and a smartphone held near his mouth as if talking to a voice assistant. He looks impatient and surprised yet determined (foot tapping visible, wide eyes, slightly open mouth, set jaw) while checking the phone screen. In the background, a non-explicit female humanoid robot companion figure stands near a doorway, partially out of frame, adding intrigue. Awkward framing, slight motion blur, mildly overexposed uneven lamp lighting, natural noise/grain, aggressively mediocre composition. No text, no captions, no logos, no watermarks.

Yes—there are AIs you can talk to out loud (and they’ll talk back)

If what you want is a real back-and-forth spoken conversation—not just dictation—then the answer is absolutely yes. Voice-capable chatbots are now common on phones (and increasingly on desktop), and they can feel surprisingly conversational: you speak naturally, they respond with a human-like voice, and you can keep the thread going for multiple turns.

The bigger question isn’t whether it exists—it’s which kind of voice AI experience you want.

The main types of “verbal conversation” AIs

1) Voice mode inside modern chatbots (most people start here)

These are the easiest to try because you can start in an app you may already use.

  • ChatGPT voice conversations: You can start a voice chat by tapping the voice icon and speaking; it also supports voice conversations on the web. OpenAI’s Voice Mode FAQ explains how voice chats work, including voice selection and plan-based usage limits. (1 2 3)

  • Claude voice mode: Anthropic has a voice mode in its mobile apps that enables spoken conversations (not just speech-to-text). Their help center describes it as a beta feature rolling out in English and explains how to enter voice mode in the app. (4 5)

  • Gemini Live: Google’s Gemini Live is designed for more fluid voice dialogue, including the ability to interrupt and continue naturally during responses. (6)

If you’re looking for the most direct answer to your question—“Is there an AI I can have a verbal conversation with?”—these are exactly that.

2) “Voice assistant” style AIs (task-first)

Some voice AIs are optimized less for free-form conversation and more for doing things: setting reminders, controlling devices, searching, summarizing, and navigating apps.

They can still chat, but the experience often feels more like a helpful assistant than a companion.

3) AI companions (conversation-first)

If your goal is emotional presence—someone to talk to while you’re walking, winding down, or thinking out loud—you’ll likely prefer products that prioritize:

  • a friendly conversational tone
  • long, coherent multi-turn dialogue
  • “memory” (remembering preferences over time)
  • low-latency voice so it doesn’t feel like a walkie-talkie

This is where voice can feel less like a feature and more like a relationship with an interface—even if you keep it casual.

What to look for in a good voice-conversation AI

Before you pick an app, decide what matters most:

  1. Interruption support (can you cut in mid-sentence?)
  2. Latency (how fast does it respond?)
  3. Transcript + continuity (does it keep a readable history you can revisit?)
  4. Memory / personalization (does it remember your preferences?)
  5. Privacy defaults
    • Does it store voice recordings or only transcripts?
    • Can you delete your history?
    • Does it clearly explain what’s retained?

OpenAI’s Voice Mode documentation, for example, calls out that limits and access can vary by plan and can change, which is a good reminder to review settings and expectations. (2 1)

How to get started (practical steps)

If you want to try voice conversation today, the basic workflow is usually:

  1. Install the app you want (or use the web version, if available).
  2. Enable microphone permission.
  3. Start a voice session (often via a voice icon).
  4. Test with a “conversation prompt”, not a command.

Example prompts that quickly reveal how conversational it is:

  • “I’ve got 10 minutes—can you ask me a few questions to help me sort out my day?”
  • “Pretend we’re walking together. I’m going to vent for a minute—then help me summarize what I’m actually worried about.”
  • “Let’s roleplay a tough conversation I need to have. You be the other person.”

Where Orifice.ai fits (if you want conversation that isn’t only on a screen)

Many people start with a voice chatbot on their phone—and then realize what they actually want is a more immersive, interactive experience that goes beyond typing and earbuds.

If you’re exploring that path, Orifice.ai is worth a look: it offers a sex robot / interactive adult toy for $669.90, and (distinctively) includes interactive penetration depth detection.

That doesn’t replace the value of a great voice chatbot—but for adult users who want a more interactive form factor alongside conversation and companionship, it can be a practical next step to research.

Bottom line

Yes—there are multiple AIs you can have a verbal conversation with, and the best one depends on whether you want:

  • a general-purpose voice chatbot (fastest to try)
  • a task assistant (most practical)
  • a more companion-style experience (most “human-feeling”)

If you tell me what you want the conversation to feel like (friendly? flirty? purely professional? coaching?), and what device you’ll use (iPhone/Android/desktop), I can narrow it down to a few good starting options.
