He took apart his doorbell and installed ChatGPT on it to answer annoying calls

Perhaps you are one of those people who have to deal with annoying house bellwith evangelists trying to convey the word of God to you, or with sellers of plants, brooms or whatever else you imagine, and postmen throwing money at you. But now the answering machine in your house or apartment can be automated, thanks to the invention of an Argentine entrepreneur.

Ronnie Bandini created a ringtone with ChatGPT:

“I took apart the Porterito doorbell and added ChatGPT to it 🤖Those who come to offer stockings, bags, raffles and the word of God will be surrounded 24/7 by a stubborn and brilliant simulation of humanity,” he wrote on his X. account.

I took apart the Porterito doorbell and added ChatGPT to it 🤖
Those who come to offer stockings, bags, lotteries and the word of the Lord will be accompanied 24/7 by a stubborn and brilliant simulation of humanity.

This project, called RinGPT, was developed using a Unihiker board with a built-in microphone and Bluetooth speaker. Additionally, the device was programmed in Python and integrated with the OpenAI API, so that all intercom responses are forwarded to a Telegram chat, allowing you to see the reason for people’s calls.

The callback can be answered using ChatGPT or. Once the reason for the call is known, the user can decide to answer in person or not, leaving this task to the virtual assistant. Bandini explains in the video that he used Google’s speech recognition library to recognize the speech.

“We often complain when AI acts cruelly. But with certain knowledge, we can immediately put it at our disposal,” Bandini insists.
