Why ChatGPT no longer works on WhatsApp
OpenAI had made ChatGPT available on a dedicated WhatsApp number (1-800-ChatGPT), but the service was discontinued in early 2026: messaging that number no longer gets a reply. Guides explaining “how to use ChatGPT on WhatsApp” now point to a service that no longer exists.
The thing is, that number belonged to OpenAI, not to you: a shared chat, with no personality and no memory of your context. Whaiz flips the idea — the AI lives on your number, replies to people who message you, and has a persona you configure.
Whaiz's alternative: AI on your number
Your number
You connect your personal WhatsApp as an additional device, not a third-party number.
A real personality
For each chat you decide who the bot is, how it writes and what it can say — not a generic assistant.
Advanced models
A conversational AI based on advanced models; it isn't ChatGPT, but it replies naturally.
