ChtaGPT is the Artificial Intelligence equivalent of what Google is to web browsers, and since it was launched openly to the public, it has undoubtedly been the main global reference for this technology.
Now, OpenAI has just announced a measure to make this AI an even more accessible app; specifically, this chatbot has just officially arrived on WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is the number one messaging app in the world, with more than 2 billion monthly users. In Spain alone, more than 35 million people have connected in 2024, making the app one of the most visited in our country.
As exemplified by OpenAI, users can ask the chatbot questions, request recommendations or consult data through text input, and ChatGPT will offer text responses with the requested information. All of this is available in several languages.
How to have ChatGPT on WhatsApp
As explained by the technology company in a video on its website, OpenAI has created the contact 1-800-ChatGPT , which uses the American telephone number 1 (800) 242-8478 . In this way, users can use it either to make phone calls or to chat with it through WhatsApp messages.
In the case of WhatsApp, the chatbot is powered by the GPT-4o mini model, although it should be noted that it is limited to text input, so it can only interact through messages and does not support image or voice input . In other words, it will not understand the sending of images or audio through the app.
To have ChatGPT on your WhatsApp, all you have to do is start a conversation like with any other contact, so you will have to save the number +1 (800-242-8478). It is important to note that since it is an American number, it must be saved with the +1 prefix so that WhatsApp can recognize it in Spain.
The only drawback is that users will have a usage limit of 15 minutes per month for each telephone number.
The company also said that the contact can also be used to make phone calls to the number 1 (800) 242-8478 . In this case, this is a function available exclusively to users located in the United States.
