Keeping up with family, friends, and work commitments takes time and effort, from organizing group trips to planning weekly meals and coordinating projects. To help make these everyday responsibilities more manageable, Rakuten Viber is bringing ChatGPT into conversations and a dedicated tab, giving users a digital assistant they can turn to without leaving the messaging app.
Beyond improving replies and summarizing conversations, ChatGPT in Viber can help users organize routines, brainstorm ideas, and turn lengthy group discussions into actionable plans. Here are four ways to make the most of the feature.
From Barkada Trips To Family Meals
Make group trips easier to plan. Coordinating a getaway means balancing everyone’s interests, preferred destinations, and schedules. By tagging @ChatGPT in a Viber group chat, users can ask for an itinerary that considers the group’s shared preferences. They can also request a packing checklist to help everyone prepare for the trip.
Take the stress out of meal planning. For families managing different tastes and dietary preferences, ChatGPT can suggest recipes based on ingredients already in the pantry, create weekly menus, and generate grocery lists. Users can also request meal ideas tailored to their household’s needs, from higher-protein options for active family members to ways of encouraging picky eaters to enjoy more vegetables.
Build Healthy Habits And Better Teamwork
Create a workout plan with a partner. Couples can use ChatGPT to explore exercise routines suited to their fitness levels, lifestyles, and personal goals. Whether they’re working from home, frequently traveling, or interested in trying activities such as pickleball or golf, the assistant can offer ideas to help them get started and stay accountable to each other.
Make workplace brainstorming more productive. When colleagues need fresh perspectives on a project, ChatGPT can suggest alternatives, provide additional insights, and organize ideas into themes or frameworks. With assistance available directly in the group chat, teams can keep discussions moving without constantly switching between apps.
“Viber has always been invested in enhancing how you connect with the people that matter to you,” said David Tse, senior director for APAC at Rakuten Viber. He described ChatGPT as a practical assistant that can help streamline everyday responsibilities, allowing users to focus more on the relationships that make life meaningful.
Keeping Users In Control Of Their Privacy
Alongside convenience, Viber emphasizes user control over its features. Users can manage certain tools, including AI summaries and in-chat features, through the app’s Settings under Calls and Messages, where available options can be turned on or off.
By bringing AI assistance into everyday conversations, Rakuten Viber aims to make planning, collaboration, and daily routines more manageable while helping people spend more time connecting with those who matter most.
