As long as you have a US phone number, you can call ChatGPT at any time, and you can make free calls for 15 minutes per month; and global users can also chat with it on WhatsApp.
ChatGPT's "human" feel has become stronger.
As long as you have a US phone number, you can call it at any time; in addition, global users can also communicate with it on WhatsApp (similar to WeChat).
And all of this doesn't require a ChatGPT account, which increases the usability and accessibility of GPT.
Before this, we could only access GPT's services through the website or APP.
As OpenAI product manager Kevin Weil said--
Call GPT
1-800-242-8478
This phone number was mentioned several times during the live broadcast, and as long as you dial it with a US phone number, you can directly communicate with GPT, and you can make free calls for 15 minutes per month.
You can call GPT on your smartphone. When the network signal is poor outdoors, you can call it and exchange your observations on the highway. For example, the discussion and exchange about the famous landmark "Flintstone House" in Hillsboro.
You can also use a flip phone. When communicating with elderly people who don't speak the same language, if you happen to not have a smartphone at hand, you can call GPT for language assistance using a flip phone.
Even the very common rotary phone in the mid-20th century can be used to call GPT.
Communicate with GPT on WhatsApp
In addition to making phone calls, global users can now communicate with ChatGPT on WhatsApp.
"Hey chat, can you give me a recipe for pasta with pesto tonight?"
From now on, you can directly send such a message on WhatsApp to ask GPT for the classic pesto pasta (pasta with pesto) recipe.
During the live broadcast, OpenAI product manager Antonia did this, and after about 10 seconds, ChatGPT replied with a detailed recipe and operation process.
Immediately afterwards, Amdu asked to change it to a vegetarian version of pesto pasta, and GPT also responded to this demand immediately.
Then, Kevin also made a request, asking for a pure meat version.
Intuitively, the GPT on the website and APP feels more immediate, with the answer being generated and streamed out; on WhatsApp, it feels a bit slower, as you have to wait for the entire answer to be generated before it is sent out.
In addition, on WhatsApp, you can currently only communicate with ChatGPT through text.
To launch functions like images and search, you first need to figure out how to authenticate ChatGPT identity through WhatsApp.
