Question

i hate Alexa

is it possible to get ChatGPT on Sonos. Alexa has been horrible and answering questions. Any questions. Simple questions, Like what is today that they don’t have a response ChatGPT has a response for everything. Is that a possibility that I will be able to have that access to ChatGPT?

Just as an extra agreement with you, not only am I moving away from Alexa, since I don’t want to be the product that is sold to others by Amazon, but as I’ve never installed it on my Sonos, since they are only Alexa enabled devices, which isn’t the same thing as an Echo device, due to the restrictions Amazon places on third party devices. So the Sonos act only similarly, but not exactly as an Amazon device does. As far as I’m aware, for instance, among other things, they haven’t extended Alexa Plus to a Sonos system. This certainly may be hardware related, but seems unlikely to me, as Sonos merely recognizes a ‘wake word’ and then passes the content to a cloud server, then acts on the commands it receives back. Nothing is processed on the Sonos device, other than the wake words. 

If Amazon had made third party devices equal to their own hardware, I’d have been less resistant, and likely had installed Alexa on my Sonos, but there it is. Now I’m moving to Apple, since I distrust them less than Amazon. I wouldn’t say I trust them fully, but certainly more than Amazon or Microsoft.

Hi ​@Nothappy71 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Sorry to hear of your issues with Alexa on your Sonos devices.

No, ChatGPT is not available as a voice service on Sonos devices, though your Sonos system can be linked in order to be controlled by ChatGPT, via the instructions provided by the page that ​@Airgetlam linked to.

Sonos 27voice, which will be a cloud-based LLM, will be available on supported Sonos devices soon, however. You can learn more via the links on this search result: https://support.sonos.com/search?q=sonos%2027voice.

I hope this helps.
