OpenAI has introduced a new way for users to interact with its popular chatbot: 1-800-CHATGPT.

By calling the U.S. toll-free number (1-800-242-8478) or messaging via WhatsApp, users can easily access the chatbot through familiar and affordable channels. According to OpenAI, callers will initially receive 15 minutes of free access each month.

This announcement is part of OpenAI’s ongoing 12-day release event, which has included several major updates. Among them is the official launch of Sora, the company’s much-anticipated AI video-generation tool.

In a further sign of its growth ambitions, OpenAI recently hired its first chief marketing officer, signaling an increased focus on advertising and user acquisition. In October, the company introduced a search feature in ChatGPT, aiming to compete more directly with Google, Microsoft Bing, and Perplexity.

These moves are part of OpenAI’s aggressive strategy to expand its presence in the generative AI market, a sector projected to exceed $1 trillion in revenue within the next decade. OpenAI faces stiff competition from major players, including Anthropic (backed by Amazon), xAI (led by Elon Musk), Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon.
