OpenAI introduced a new way to use ChatGPT
Share
On Wednesday, December 18, OpenAI launched its phone number for ChatGPT. This feature is currently available only to US users and is completely free, but other countries can contact the chatbot by sending text messages via WhatsApp.
Ars Technica reports on this.
What number to call to contact ChatGPT
You can call ChatGPT at 1-800-242-8478. You can also add it to your contact list and send free text messages on WhatsApp.
"Hello again, it's ChatGPT, an AI assistant. Our conversation may be reviewed for safety. How can I help you?" users will hear during the call.
Subscribers can have a live interactive conversation and ask anything they would normally ask an AI assistant.
During a livestream demo of "Calling with ChatGPT" during Day 10 of "12 Days of OpenAI", OpenAI employees demonstrated a live broadcast of "Calls with ChatGPT". They also asked ChatGPT to find a specific house in California and help translate a message to a friend in Spanish.
OpenAI says the new features came out of an internal OpenAI "hack week" project that a team built just a few weeks ago. The company says its goal is to make ChatGPT more accessible if someone does not have a smartphone or a computer handy.
During the livestream, an OpenAI employee mentioned that 15 minutes of voice chatting are free and that you can download the app and create an account to get more. While the audio chat version seems to be running a full version of GPT-4o on the back end, a developer during the livestream said the free WhatsApp text mode is using GPT-4o mini.
As a reminder, the legal dispute between Elon Musk and OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, is gaining momentum. The company released letters in which the billionaire sought absolute control over the startup.
We also wrote that OpenAI launched Sora, an AI video generator for all users. It is available to all ChatGPT subscribers in the US and other countries.
