OpenAI Launches “ChatGPT Hotline” Late at Night: Chat Directly via Phone Without Internet Connection
OpenAI launches the ChatGPT Hotline — now you can chat with AI via phone without the internet! Dial 1–800-CHATGPT for a seamless AI experience.
Sam Altman is on fire, OpenAI’s Day 10 of the 12-day launch event — ChatGPT Hotline is here!
OpenAI is at it again, and this time they’ve gone straight to your phone! What does that mean? This means that from now on, you don’t need to be connected to the internet, and any device capable of making a call can chat directly with ChatGPT!
Just dial (+1) 800 CHATGPT (1–800–242–8478) or send a message to the same number on WhatsApp, and you can start chatting away with ChatGPT! It’s like giving AI its own “hotline.”
Hitching a ride on the “phone” to target 1 billion users!
Take a moment and think about it! The strategy behind this is clear: OpenAI is aiming to make ChatGPT the go-to name for AI, just like Google is for search. In the future, when people think of AI, their first reaction will be ChatGPT.
Why the phone? Well, many people still haven’t used ChatGPT, especially those who don’t spend much time on mobile apps. So, the phone becomes OpenAI’s new battleground for expansion.
And they’ve also set their sights on WhatsApp! This is Meta’s domain! Meta itself is working on AI through WhatsApp, and OpenAI is directly “crashing the party.” I personally feel OpenAI is aggressively taking over every entry point, and in the future, when artificial intelligence is mentioned, ChatGPT will be the first name that comes to mind.
“Cost-effective” and “fast,” the 4o-mini model is doing the job!
However, this time they’re using the 4o-mini model, not the most powerful one. The reason, as everyone knows, is to save costs! After all, every time you chat with AI, it costs money. By using a smaller model, they can cut costs and ensure speed — double the benefits! As for whether they’ll use a more powerful model in the future, they haven’t said yet, leaving us in suspense!
In short, with this move, OpenAI is all about “territory expansion.” They want everyone to use ChatGPT and make AI a part of daily life. This AI battle is getting hotter and hotter!
You can now save 1–800-CHATGPT in your phone contacts (currently only available in the US)!
The number is 1–800–242–8478 😄 U.S. users get 15 minutes of voice calling time per month.
