Opportunities are ripe for the taking, the next generation of millionaires will step up and innovate in directions never imagined. The most recent directions being CV (Computer Vision) together with AI image creation and editing. Some examples include Firefly by Adobe, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and NVIDIA Canvas.
On the other hand, many believe the education industry will be shaken the most. Although, Elon Musk’s statement suggests that it won’t be a quick change, “It’s easier to land a man on Mars than to change the school system”.
WAGPT’s Birth Story
One Saturday afternoon in Cape Town, South Africa, Christian was popping in at a supermarket to buy a loaf of bread. Before purchasing he was trying to ask ChatGPT about low carb bread and what to look out for, but while loading the homepage his data ran out. So he texted his girlfriend via WhatsApp to ask ChatGPT and let him know. This was possible due to his cheap WhatsApp bundle he gets monthly. While waiting for her response, he thought by himself - if he was able to access ChatGPT via a WhatsApp contact, he would have uninterrupted access to ChatGPT even without general data bundles which is much more expensive.
According to Christian, he didn't sleep for a few days and made ChatGPT available via a WhatsApp contact for 13 friends and family. Two days later, there were 45 people using it. He realized that he is not the only one interested in a no extra app install, but convenient solution to access ChatGPT on the go.
Today it’s about 5 weeks later since then, WAGPT is in about 42 countries and counting with $0 spent on marketing to date. WAGPT is committed to helping OpenAI shape the future of this technology, and how people access it.
The Solution
WAGPT is building a convenient, affordable and secure way for everyday people to get access to this revolutional AI assistant called ChatGPT. This way is by adding a contact in WhatsApp, called WAGPT via their website https://www.wagpt.co or by receiving the contact’s number from someone manually.
Christian said that he isn’t the first one to integrate ChatGPT into a social messaging tool like WhatsApp, but he added that he definitely is one of the few who have decided that he will take this to the people who he believes need this technology. There are also many people that don’t have a $20 money bank as per OpenAI pricing to access ChatGPT without interruption. WAGPT is able to bring the convenience, security of user messages as well as a more affordable solution to the market by having a subscription model around ¼ of $20, that will be implemented sometime this year.
Yes, WAGPT is currently free to use. Christian said it will be free to use for as long as his personal income allows. He sees paying for the accessibility as an investment to grow rapidly.
