Free AI conversations with OpenAI’s new phone feature
Users in the US are able to call OpenAI’s new ChatGPT feature for free, making AI more accessible to everyone.
OpenAI has introduced a new way to access its popular ChatGPT AI by phone. Users in the United States can now call 1-800-CHATGPT to speak with ChatGPT for up to 15 minutes per month at no cost. This innovative feature is powered by OpenAI’s Realtime API and marks a move towards making AI more approachable for everyday users.
For those outside the US, OpenAI has expanded access via WhatsApp, allowing global users to interact with ChatGPT through text. The initiative is part of OpenAI’s effort to offer a simplified version of ChatGPT, providing a ‘low-cost way’ to try the service through familiar communication channels.
OpenAI has reassured users that calls will not be used to train its models, distinguishing its approach from similar past services like Google’s now-defunct GOOG-411. With this launch, OpenAI continues to bridge the gap between technology and accessibility, making conversational AI more reachable than ever.
