WhatsApp OpenAI

OpenAI has rolled out new ways to interact with ChatGPT. With a simple WhatsApp message or a free 15-minute phone call, users can now tap into the power of artificial intelligence like never before.

Call ChatGPT

Imagine needing advice, assistance, or just a quick chat with AI, all without touching a keyboard. OpenAI has made that possible. By dialing 1-800-CHATGPT (1-800-242-8478), users in the U.S. can enjoy a live, real-time conversation with ChatGPT for up to 15 minutes each month for free. This feature is powered by OpenAI’s new Realtime API, enabling seamless voice interactions.

Kevin Weil, OpenAI’s Chief Product Officer, revealed during a recent livestream that this feature was developed in just a few weeks. A testament to the agility of OpenAI’s team. Though limited to a 15-minute monthly cap per phone number, creative users might work around this with multiple Google Voice numbers to extend their interaction time.

For those outside the U.S. or who prefer text-based interactions, OpenAI has launched a WhatsApp integration that brings ChatGPT to billions of users worldwide. By messaging the same number, 1-800-242-8478, anyone with access to WhatsApp can engage with the AI assistant, regardless of location or high-speed internet availability.

This global rollout leverages the WhatsApp API and is powered by OpenAI’s efficient gpt-4o-mini model. With over two billion monthly active users on WhatsApp, this integration is set to democratize AI access further, ensuring that even those in areas with limited infrastructure can experience the power of artificial intelligence.

These features represent more than just new ways to talk to ChatGPT. Consistent access to high-speed internet remains a challenge for millions worldwide. By offering AI interactions over familiar and accessible platforms like WhatsApp and phone lines, OpenAI is addressing a critical gap.

The Future is Here.

While OpenAI’s WhatsApp integration and free call feature are exciting, the company is clear that these offerings remain experimental. Availability and limits may evolve as the systems are tested and refined.

The announcements coincide with OpenAI’s “12 Days of Christmas” series, which has already introduced innovations like Sora, a text-to-video platform, and a premium subscription tier priced at $200 per month.

With ChatGPT now just a phone call or WhatsApp message away, OpenAI is redefining how we interact with AI. Whether you’re dialing in for a free chat or messaging through WhatsApp, the power of ChatGPT is now more accessible than ever.
