Openai upgrades the Chatgpt phone number you can SMS on WhatsApp to be much more like the mobile app and the web portal. From now on, you don’t have to write everything you want to say to AI Chatbot. Now you can send a photo or record a voice mememo that Chatgpt will “see” or “hear” and answer via the usual text form.
You will be able to do things like taking a picture of a foreign language sign and asking for a translation or sending a sound clip of your toddler’s latest philosophical ramblings and asking for a text transcription. It is not as skilled as the more standard portal, but it is very close. The phone number 1-800-chatgpt still works as well, but in its nature as a phone call it already takes audio input but cannot accept images.
You’ve been able to use chatgpt on WhatsApp since it debuted in December, but some may have been annoyed to have to fumble with the keyboard. Being able to click on a picture or send a quick voice note to get chatgpt’s help will be a real blessing for them. Accepting voice messages and photos in an app that many people regularly use during the day makes it much easier for more spontaneous interactions that you would like to send a photo of voice top to a friend when you think to do it.
For example, imagine that you are out on a race and suddenly remember an idea you will not forget. Instead of stopping to write it out, you can send a voice message to chatgpt and ask it to summarize your thoughts for a note for later. Or let’s say you’re trying to fix something at home, and instead of awkwardly explaining the problem, clicking on a picture and asking Chatgpt if it can offer tips for troubleshooting.
Chatgpt remembers you
The update also introduces account connection. This means that AI will remember you and your past preferences and interactions if you have a chatgpt account via the app or web portal, whether at the free level or with a subscription to Chatgpt Plus or Pro. Previous restrictions, such as the 15-minute-in-month cap on AI call, are released. This update could lure those who like the idea of chatgpt but have been reluctant to download the app or go to the site.
WhatsApp is one of the most commonly used messaging platforms in the world, and adding more chatgpt -features there and removing the extra step of opening another app or changing contexts could be Openai’s subtle pitch to WhatsApp users without chatgpt accounts . Instead of having to open chatgpt separately, it is now embedded in a place where they are already spending time sending their family and friends. Why not also an AI assistant?
Openai has mentioned that messages can be reviewed for security purposes, so users have to keep in mind it before sending something for personal or sensitive. Still, for everyday tasks, creative brainstorming and answering random questions on the go, this update chatgpt makes feel more integrated into everyday life than ever before.
Any upgrade that makes an AI chatbot feel like a natural, conversation tool in your favorite apps and less as an independent tool with an app that you only open when you need something specific will be of interest in Openai and its rivals.
Whether WhatsApp fans start reaching out to chatgpt when a thought crosses their minds like “What’s for dinner?” Or “Can you transform my 2 am voice ramblings into something coherent?” Request to see.
