Making Calls with ChatGPT: A Step-by-Step Guide
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, announced this groundbreaking feature, allowing users to connect with ChatGPT via voice calls. To experience this firsthand,simply dial 1-800-CHATGPT. This service provides 15 minutes of free calling. “OpenAI Head of Product Kevin Weil unveiled this exciting new feature during a live broadcast on December 19th,” according to a report on the Verge. This new calling functionality utilizes the OpenAI Realtime API for the telephone number and integrates with the WhatsApp API through GPT-4o mini for global WhatsApp messaging. Users can reach ChatGPT at 1-800-242-8478 via WhatsApp.Call Time Limitations and Workarounds
While the initial free calling service is capped at 15 minutes per telephone number per month, there are ways to extend your talking time. Savvy users can activate multiple Google Voice numbers to enjoy extended conversations with ChatGPT. OpenAI views this new call feature as a significant milestone, notably for individuals who are new to the world of artificial intelligence.ChatGPT: Exploring Affordability and Accessibility
The world of artificial intelligence is constantly evolving, with new tools and platforms emerging to make this technology more accessible to everyone. OpenAI recently introduced a ChatGPT service designed to be both affordable and user-kind. This streamlined version of the popular ChatGPT platform offers a cost-effective way for individuals to experience the power of AI through a familiar platform.
While the simplified ChatGPT service provides a great entry point, OpenAI emphasizes that those seeking more advanced features, higher usage limits, and personalized AI experiences should opt for the full ChatGPT account accessed through traditional channels.
The Legacy of Voice-Based AI
OpenAI’s move to create a more accessible ChatGPT echoes Google’s endeavor in 2006 with GOOG-411. This free voice-activated directory assistance service aimed to connect users with information quickly and efficiently. Unluckily,GOOG-411 was discontinued in 2010.
Although Google didn’t officially explain the reasons behind shutting down GOOG-411, many believe the company had successfully gathered a vast database of voice samples to advance its speech recognition technology. “Efforts to build a truly robust speech model require many phonemes, syllables that are pronounced by certain sounds with certain intonation,” explained Google VP Marissa Mayer at the time.
