Get Ready to Voice Chat With ChatGPT Over Whatsapp - Check It Out!
The previously launched 1800-CHATGPT has received a number of updates, including the introduction of voice chat and image upload features. With these updates, users can now voice-chat with ChatGPT while using WhatsApp. Kevin Weil, the Chief Product Officer at OpenAI, made the announcement about these updates. OpenAI is currently working on a feature that will allow users to connect their Pro or Plus GPT account with WhatsApp.
The feature, 1800-CHATGPT, initially introduced a toll-free number that allowed users to interact with an AI model via phone call. Now, users have the option to access the AI chatbot services by either calling 1800-24284-78 or chatting with it over WhatsApp. This feature aims to make AI services more accessible to a wider audience, overcoming challenges related to connectivity and reach.

It's important to note that ChatGPT over WhatsApp currently has limitations when it comes to file uploads and related functionalities for analysis. The model cannot handle file formats like Word or PDF at the moment, but it can analyze text and images shared in the chat window. This development signifies a significant step towards making advanced AI technology more accessible to a broader audience, reshaping the discourse around AI neutrality and democratizing technology.
