Over the past several years, numerous major technology firms and startup companies have introduced their own AI-powered chatbots. OpenAI initiated this technological shift with ChatGPT, which eventually received an official mobile application after gaining significant traction. In contrast, Google crafted Gemini specifically for use on smartphones right from its inception. Platforms such as Claude and Perplexity also joined the fray with standalone applications of their own. However, today you have the option to interact with both ChatGTP and Perplexity AI through WhatsApp without needing to download separate apps for each one.
Currently, WhatsApp stands as the leading instant messaging application globally with an impressive user base of 2 billion active users. Ever since Facebook, now known as Meta, took over ownership, Zuckerberg’s firm has integrated numerous functionalities previously found only in competing applications. Moving forward, Meta plans to transform WhatsApp into a central platform offering swift access to various third-party artificial intelligence services.
Converse with Perplexity AI and ChatGPT directly via WhatsApp.
Aravind Srinivas, who leads Perplexity, shared via Twitter/X that you can now interact with Perplexity AI through WhatsApp. To get started, simply store this mobile number: +1 (833) 436-3285. After doing so, Perplexity AI should show up as a new contact in your contacts list. As stated by Srinivas, you have unlimited access to converse with this AI-driven chatbot. This integration into WhatsApp comes equipped with functionalities like chatting, answering questions, and generating images.
The feature set is less extensive compared to what you’d see in the standalone application or on Perplexity’s official site. In summary, Srinivas mentioned that Perplexity AI for WhatsApp will be getting additional features soon.
Concerning ChatGPT, OpenAI had earlier declared the addition of WhatsApp support. This allows you to reach the globe’s favorite chatbot via the messaging application by including this number in your contacts: +1 (800) 242-8478.
Alternatives to Meta AI
Both serve as alternatives to Meta AI, which is the company’s own chatbot driven by the Llama models. Meta AI can be accessed via a shortcut located in the lower-right corner of the application. This button remains visible at all times without any possibility for hiding it. Consequently, this has resulted in numerous unintentional triggers, causing frustration among users who are calling for an option to eliminate it from the user interface.
