generative AI is the technology behind ChatGPT, a chatbot that has been dominating news headlines for months now. But not everyone wants to open their browser just to talk to a chatbot. That is why TextGPT could be a worthwhile investment for those interested in generative artificial intelligence.
As the name suggests, TextGPT is a service that brings ChatGPT directly to your mobile phone’s messaging app. When you sign up for TextGPT, you will be able to chat with the generative AI chatbot as much as you want, without the need to log in, subscribe or have an API token.
It is important to note that this service is not free, although the first 50 messages are free if you want to try TextGPT. After your free messages run out, you will be able to purchase message packs to keep chatting. Here is the price list for the packages: 200 messages for $10, 500 messages for $20, 1,000 messages for $35, and 2,500 messages for $50.
Fortunately, there are no subscriptions, so you don’t have to worry about a surprise charge next month when you inevitably forget you signed up in the first place.
Franco Valdes, the developer behind TextGPT, has been tweeting about his progress regularly in recent weeks. He also highlighted a new feature of the service, as TextGPT can now generate images in addition to text responses.
If you want to register for the TextGPT beta, simply head over to the registration page and enter your phone number. As the images on the website show, you will receive a text message from a number that will serve as the ChatGPT chatbot in your messaging app from now on. At the moment it is only available in the United States and Canada.
This advancement in generative artificial intelligence technology also raises interesting questions about the future of human interaction with technology. Will the day come when generative AI chatbots are so advanced that they are indistinguishable from humans? Could they replace customer service and customer support workers in the near future?
