OpenAI is truly in the giving spirit this season. Among its latest updates is the ability to not just chat with ChatGPT but call ChatGPT. That’s right! You can now have a literal conversation, the kind where you talk and ChatGPT talks back all without needing perfect Wi-Fi or a fancy smartphone. And for texting fans, the AI wizard is officially available on WhatsApp too. Interested? Here’s the scoop on how you can jump in.
How to Call ChatGPT via Phone
Picture this you’re in the middle of nowhere, and you realize you forgot how to calculate the square footage of your shed. No problem! Pull out your phone and say hello to ChatGPT, your voice-chatting AI helper. Here’s how you can make it happen.
- Dial the Magic Number
Save this number to your contacts right now 1-800-2428478. This is your direct line to ChatGPT. It’s super handy, especially when you don’t want to type out questions or are using an older phone. - Geographic Limitation
Heads up calling is currently limited to users in the US and requires a US-based phone number. If you’re somewhere else, don’t worry; we’ll talk on WhatsApp shortly. - Time Limit
OpenAI is keeping things sweet and short for now each user gets 15 minutes of calls per month. Not ideal for an in-depth philosophical debate, but more than enough for quick assistance or brainstorming.
This feature comes in particularly handy if you’re in an area with spotty internet connectivity. Just grab your phone, dial in, and ChatGPT will take it from there.
