If you think ChatGPT is already impressive, its next feature will amaze you even more. After enhancing its conversational AI capabilities, OpenAI is now gearing up for a major breakthrough. According to Nerdschalk, the beta version of the chatbot has revealed an exciting new update: ChatGPT is set to integrate a feature called Live Camera.

This feature, mentioned directly in the app’s code, will allow ChatGPT to interact with your phone’s camera in real time. This means you won’t just have text-based conversations anymore—you’ll be able to activate the camera and engage with ChatGPT as if you were on a video call.
The possibilities are nearly limitless. With Live Camera, ChatGPT could provide comments on what the camera sees, ask specific questions about events happening in real time, or hold a conversation with a deeper focus on the context captured by the camera.
The company demonstrated a similar technology earlier this year, but it had not been available for general use in the app until now. According to the source, the feature’s release is imminent and could be added to ChatGPT at any time. Unfortunately, it appears that initially, it will only be accessible to users of the Plus version or one of the paid plans.
The conversational AI has been able to speak Spanish for months, so there should be no issues with the new Live Camera feature interacting with our language in real time. However, OpenAI may gradually roll out this feature, meaning it could take some time before it reaches regions outside the United States.
There are those who have already tried ChatGPT’s ‘Live Camera’
Some lucky users have already had the chance to try ChatGPT’s Live Camera feature in its alpha version and have shared positive feedback about their experiences. They report that the interaction feels very natural and that the AI is able to effectively use the visual context. Additionally, they mention that the real-time performance is quick and accurate, with minimal errors.
Integrating ChatGPT’s knowledge with the camera’s real-time vision is certainly exciting news. This feature will allow users to have AI explain complex concepts that are better shown in video, provide storytelling about places you’re visiting, or, as OpenAI has already demonstrated, help blind individuals understand their surroundings in great detail.
While it is currently unclear exactly when this feature will be released, the source suggests it will be available very soon. However, if you want to use it for free in the ChatGPT app, you may have to wait a bit longer.
