Did you now OpenAI Allows Users To Make Phone Calls To ChatGPT For 15 Minutes On +18002428478
The makers of ChatGPT are rolling out an innovative means to communicate with the chatbot on the phone.
OpenAI just launched a number where users get the chance to talk for free when they dial the respective 1-800-CHATGPT number using their devices or use direct web link.
There’s a 15-minute time limit to prevent anyone from overusing the
feature but if you ask us, that’s more than enough. One caveat, however,
is that on Whatsapp this feature currently does not support voice
response understanding, or image/video uploads.
The feature was launched a couple of weeks back when the company’s
leading product officer shared the idea through a livestream with users.
Interestingly, it’s not just for US users but those located anywhere
else in the world can do the same with the global phone number
1-800-242-8478 (or +18002428478).
While the limit of 15 minutes
is there, you still have the chance to spin up a couple of calls with
various Google Voice numbers. This way, you certainly get more than what
you want. The whole concept is built around the company’s Realtime API.
Furthermore, it’s powered by its GPT-4o mini via the WhatsApp API.
The latest feature is an integral stepping stone for all those who are
new since it represents a simple variant of the tools compared to the
web-based ordeal. It’s cost effective so you can really make the most of
it through several different channels. The rest can continue using this
through the classic channel.
We have to admit that Google did
share something similar in the year 2007 when users were given another
free directory voice assistant. But just after three years, it was
discontinued in 2010. There wasn’t any kind of explanation provided by
the Android maker before it was scrapped off the list.
Still,
many speculated that had to do with achieving its main target which was
collecting user data to better the speech recognition tech. The
company’s VP at the time even shared how the goal of the tech giant was
to gather as many phonemes as possible. This was the only way they could
produce the most robust speech model. All that data would be used for
training.
