Remember when you needed a premium subscription to ask ChatGPT about your kid's weird rash or your neighbor's questionable parking habits? Those days are over. OpenAI just made its famous AI assistant available to everyone with a WhatsApp account - and yes, it's completely free.
What's New in Your Pocket:
- Chat with AI right in WhatsApp
- Voice conversations (perfect for multitasking)
- Real-time weather, stocks, and sports updates
- Internet search that actually understands what you're asking
Getting started is surprisingly simple: just create an OpenAI account and you're good to go. Want to know tomorrow's weather while cooking dinner? Ask away. Curious about who won last night's game? ChatGPT's got you covered.
More Than Just Talk
OpenAI has been busy making deals with major news outlets and data providers, essentially building a Google alternative that actually speaks your language. There's even a new search icon for those times when you want ChatGPT to double-check its facts.
The announcement comes as part of OpenAI's recent showcase, which also unveiled Sora and a fancy $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription - though you won't need that to use the basic features.
