Kakao has introduced a new feature that allows users to utilize generative artificial intelligence (AI) directly within KakaoTalk chat rooms. This feature, called the 'ChatGPT Chatbot,' enables users to interact with AI without needing to open a separate app, enhancing the practicality of AI in everyday life.
On June 16, Kakao announced the launch of the ChatGPT Chatbot feature, which allows users to ask questions and receive real-time answers in both group and one-on-one chat rooms. Users can add the ChatGPT Chatbot by selecting 'Chatbot' from the top right menu of the chat room, and then they can mention '@ChatGPT' in the input field or click the 'ChatGPT' button on the keyboard toolbar to submit their questions.
For example, users can type "@ChatGPT, what’s the weather today?" or "@ChatGPT, write a birthday message," and ChatGPT will provide immediate responses within the chat room. For longer conversations, users can click 'See More' below the response bubble to continue in the 'ChatGPT for Kakao' service.
This feature is part of Kakao's strategy to expand KakaoTalk into an AI platform. In October of last year, Kakao collaborated with OpenAI to launch 'ChatGPT for Kakao,' which has since surpassed 11 million cumulative subscribers as of May.
Kakao AI Connect Performance Leader Yoo Yong-hwan stated, "With the chatbot feature, users can now easily and conveniently utilize AI while chatting on KakaoTalk. We aim to organically integrate KakaoTalk and AI to promote the popularization of AI in daily life."
