Incorporate Gen AI (ChatGPT) into the virtual assistant

We can speak to Alexa to ask for a new song or what the weather is, but Alexa is very limited. It would be a game changer in the auto world to incorporate Gen AI (ChatGPT or other) into Rivian's assistant so we drivers can ask any questions that come to mind - vehicle specific or not. Asking detailed questions related to navigation (including charging) or asking about theory of everything, etc. Gen AI is here and our Rivian's can become categorically improved with it.

They can resolve that partner issue. Just change to Apple Carplay and ChatGPT is built-in...
As a practical idea, what about implementing Carplay as a paid for subscription? I can pay for Connect+ or Connect+ with Apple Carplay. It would reimburse the costs I'm sure Rivian has to pay to Apple and would provide those who so desire the benefits of a full Carplay solution.

I agree, and wonder how they could implement an AI solution. Chat GPT has a cost associated with every query, so I assume something like this would only be available for paid plans.

I have a post somewhere about this same thing. Not sure where it is now…

Great comment. I wholeheartedly agree. I never use Alexa in my Rivian because the Alexa implementation is really awful. I sometimes use voice-to-text on my phone as a workaround. I really wish the voice-assistance was better, and adding the tools of better AI would be a great step. I would imagine Rivian wants to do this but is being held back by partners at Amazon…
