OpenAI has launched ChatGPT on WhatsApp, making AI-powered interactions more accessible than ever. The integration is free, allowing users to communicate with the AI as seamlessly as chatting with a friend or Meta’s AI tools within the messaging platform.
This milestone is part of OpenAI’s “12 Days of OpenAI” series, featuring updates and new features. Users worldwide can now add +1-1800-242-8478 to their WhatsApp contacts, enabling convenient AI interactions even in areas with low-data connectivity.
With WhatsApp boasting over 2.7 billion active users, this integration positions OpenAI to expand it's reach, particularly in regions where high-speed internet access is limited. OpenAI highlighted that this feature provides AI assistance without relying on heavy web infrastructure, enhancing accessibility for users with minimal data resources.
Powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o-mini model, the same version used in the free ChatGPT app, users can engage in a variety of activities creative writing, brainstorming, travel planning, recipe suggestions, or general conversations on diverse topics.
Additionally, for users in the U.S., a voice call feature enables dynamic real-time conversations with ChatGPT, leveraging OpenAI’s Realtime API for an engaging, interactive experience. This launch underscores OpenAI’s commitment to revolutionizing global communication through AI.
