What is what3words AI Chat and how do I use it? (Pro feature)

what3words AI Chat is a conversational AI that understands what3words and how to use it.

You can give it a what3words address as part of an instruction or question and it will recognise the 3 words and the precise location they refer to – and respond accordingly.

For example, you can ask it to book a ride to a what3words address: I need an Uber to ///above.dock.shrimp 

Or you can ask it to generate a route between what3words addresses: I need a Google Maps route from ///market.spoken.budget to ///filled.count.soap

It can also use your current location and generate a route between there and a what3words address: I need a Google Maps route to ///amount.shelf.olive  Please note you may need to give our website and your browser permission to access your location. You can learn how to do that here.

It can even bulk save multiple what3words addresses at once: paste them into AI Chat and ask it to save them in a list: Save these addresses in a new list called ‘Festival weekend’
