Kakao Launches ChatGPT Inside KakaoTalk Messaging App

The first product from Kakao’s OpenAI partnership integrates local services via Kakao Tools.

Overview

  • Users can open ChatGPT with a single tap in KakaoTalk and share AI-generated chats, images, and text, with sign-in available via existing OpenAI or Kakao accounts.
  • Access is limited to mobile users aged 14 or older, with PC support not yet available.
  • Kakao Tools links ChatGPT responses to services such as Kakao Map, Kakao Reservation, Kakao Gift, and Melon for service-connected answers.
  • Users can choose whether conversations are saved or used to train models, and pricing follows OpenAI plans with usage limits for the free tier.
  • Kakao plans to extend the ChatGPT-for-Kakao experience to non-Kakao apps and is piloting its in-house Kanana assistant with an Android expansion targeted for early next year.
