WhatsApp users can now directly message ChatGPT to get answers to questions or creative help for projects, thanks to an update that sees the generative AI chatbot getting its own dedicated contact number on the messaging platform.
OpenAI said anyone, anywhere in the world will be able to message ChatGPT via its new phone number, 1-800-242-8478.
The AI firm said consistent access to high-speed data can be difficult and costly to many, and the new WhatsApp account would enable more people to try out ChatGPT through a familiar channel.
