Washington - WhatsApp announced a new update to the smart chat robot /ChatGPT/ within its application, which enables users to send not only texts, but also images and voice notes to the robot.
The new update enables users around the world to upload images and send voice notes to ChatGPT, which will analyze them and respond to them in text.
This development makes interaction with the artificial intelligence (AI) robot more flexible, especially for those who prefer voice dictation over writing.
In addition, WhatsApp allows users to link their accounts to ChatGPT, whether they are free or paid accounts, which gives subscribers to (Plus) and (Pro) plans the ability to access some exclusive features that were previously only available through OpenAI applications and its websites.
To interact with the chatbot, users need to save the previously mentioned number in their smartphone contacts, then restart WhatsApp. The official ChatGPT account will then appear in the contacts list, allowing them to start a conversation directly using text, images, or voice messages.
This integration aims to provide a smoother experience for users, especially those with slow internet connections or data restrictions. It also allows them to benefit from the capabilities of AI without the need to download a separate application, which saves storage space on their devices.
It will be compatible with existing Alexa devices, said the people.
Amazon will rely, at least in part, on artificial intelligence software from startup Anthropic – in which it has invested $8 billion – to underpin the AI in Alexa, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
In September 2023, Amazon demonstrated an early version of the souped-up Alexa, but concerns over quality caused Amazon to repeatedly push back its launch date and that rendition was never released to the public.
