OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT on WhatsApp can now analyze images and voice notes in addition to text-based queries. Users can upload images and voice notes within the WhatsApp chat, and ChatGPT will process these inputs and respond in the same chat-based format as text interactions.
This new multi-modal feature functions similarly to the existing text-based chat. Users can open a dedicated conversation with ChatGPT on WhatsApp without needing to sign in to an OpenAI account. The chatbot can analyze images and voice messages to provide more relevant and tailored responses.
Both image and voice-based queries utilize OpenAI's standard ChatGPT model. Users looking for a more capable model can sign in with an OpenAI account subscribed to the Plus or Pro plans. Linking an account also unlocks additional features, such as saving chat history.
To start using ChatGPT on WhatsApp, add +1-800-242-8478 (+1-800-CHAT-GPT) to your phone's contacts and refresh the app. Alternatively, users can connect via QR code by scanning it from OpenAI's website.
ChatGPT on WhatsApp offers a convenient alternative to the dedicated app. However, the WhatsApp integration is generally slower in providing responses compared to the official ChatGPT app. Additionally, some features, such as presets, are unavailable.
