Does anyone know if there is *any* free hands-free voice-only GPT AI yet?

Since I'm trying to help the elderly as a volunteer in town on all major
consumer platforms (Windows, Android & iOS), today I tested the brand-new
(supposedly free) 1-800-CHAT-GPT contact (on phones, tablets & on the PC).

The good news is that finally, for the first time in history (to my
knowledge) there is for the elderly a way to chat with AI completely hands
free (without pressing microphone or speaker buttons on the device).

For example, on iOS:
a. After you add a contact for 1-800-CHAT-GPT (1-800-242-8478)
b. All the elderly need to do is say "Hey Siri, call CHAT GPT"
c. That initiates a completely hands-free two-way voice/speech chat AI

While it matters not which predictive generative AI is being used, with
this contact method I had thought that I had *finally* found a free
voice-only speech-only chat AI mechanism for these elderly people.

But then I found the catch - which is that it only works completely hands
free for only fifteen minutes per phone number (or VOIP account) per month.

Bummer.

It may work longer for WhatsApp (and perhaps other VOIP methods); but when
I tested the new WhatsApp 1-800-CHAT-GPT contact, the chat was via text.

Of course you & I can easily find & press the various microphone & speaker
buttons on Windows, Android or iOS devices to get them to listen & speak...

But these elderly people can't even see (or find) those little buttons.
Hence my question...

Does anyone know if there is *any* free hands-free speech-only GPT AI yet?

Just a quick thought: how about a foot switch controlled mic?

for Windows PC's look at:

Another thought:
use Alexa and a remote switch wired in place of or parallel to the mic
push button so then activated by a voice command.

Be careful of cheaters!

A human can disguise his/her voice as an A.I., and fool you into
revealing all your personal information including passwords and ATM
codes. :)

And a teen killed himself after talking with an AI.
Dangerous things, AIs, in the hands of people with reduced (mental)
abilities.

There are always uninitiated new-born! They were merely being taken
advantage of, sadly! Time for governments to step in!!
