1-800-ChatGPT is a new feature launched by OpenAI that allows you to interact with ChatGPT via phone calls or the WhatsApp messaging platform. You can have conversations, get writing help, receive real-time updates, and ask any questions, just like you do in the ChatGPT web or app experience.

The calling feature is currently available only to users in the USA and Canada. However, the WhatsApp feature can be accessed from any country where ChatGPT is supported.

How to Use ChatGPT on WhatsApp?

Using ChatGPT directly on WhatsApp is very simple. You don’t need to create an account. Just follow the step-by-step guide with me:

Step 1: Add a New Contact

Open WhatsApp and tap the ‘+’ icon at the bottom right. Here you’ll find the “New Contact” option.

Step 2: Change Country Code to USA

In the New Contact screen, enter ChatGPT as the first name. Then, change the country code from India (+91) to the USA (+1). Now type the number 1-800-242-8478 and tap Save.

Step 3: Search for ChatGPT Contact

After saving, tap the search icon in WhatsApp and type “ChatGPT.” You should see the contact appear.

Step 4: Start Chatting with ChatGPT

Now, start a conversation just like you would with any other contact. Send a message like “Hi,” and ChatGPT will reply instantly. You can then ask questions, get writing help, summaries, ideas, or even creative content.

For example, I asked it to write a few Instagram captions about the monsoon season. It gave me different options in various tones, like funny, poetic, romantic, and more.

Overall, the response time is fast. ChatGPT chatbot works seamlessly on both WhatsApp Web and mobile apps. To connect via WhatsApp Web, simply scan the QR code. The chatbot on WhatsApp will then appear on the chat list.
