Summary
OpenAI has released an Apple Messages plugin for ChatGPT that connects a user’s inbox to the chatbot for sorting, analyzing, editing, searching, drafting and sending messages.
The company is pitching the tool for both personal and workplace use, saying it also works with Codex and ChatGPT Work; a demo showed ChatGPT suggesting follow-up texts from the previous day’s conversations.
OpenAI told Bloomberg the plugin runs locally on a user’s machine and does not create an index of all messages, though the exact privacy boundaries were not immediately clear.
For message sending, OpenAI warns users to monitor ChatGPT’s actions and avoid persistent approval, saying that setting removes the final chance to review a text before it is sent.
