ChatGPT is available on WhatsApp and via phone calls

OpenAI has recently announced two major developments for ChatGPT— the integration of ChatGPT with WhatsApp and the launch of a toll-free hotline for users in the United States.

ChatGPT is available on WhatsApp and via phone calls

Starting today, WhatsApp users can add the number 1 (800) CHAT-GPT to their WhatsApp contacts and start chatting with ChatGPT directly via the messaging app. OpenAI is working on how to verify existing users through WhatsApp, but it’s not saying when that feature will be released.

Along with the WhatsApp integration, OpenAI also unveiled a toll-free hotline for ChatGPT users in the US. One can now call 1 (800) 242-8478 and interact with the AI assistant for up to 15 minutes per phone number per month, a feature that has been beneficial for people who either do not have access to the internet or prefer interacting with the AI using a conventional method.

ChatGPT era started at the Mercedes vehicles

Mercedes-Benz vehicles will integrate ChatGPT and Bing.The MBUX infotainment system will now support ChatGPT.

According to OpenAI spokesperson Taya Christianson, the company will not use these calls for the training of large language models.

For its chief product officer, Kevin Weil, these features were born from a recent “hack week” at OpenAI, where the team worked to figure out how to make ChatGPT more usable by a larger group of people.

The WhatsApp integration and toll-free hotline are two developments in recent improvements made to the ChatGPT ecosystem. The company earlier this year gave all free users access to its ChatGPT Search feature. They also took its Sora video generation tool out of private preview.
