ChatGPT Can Now Draft and Send Your Texts via Apple Messages
OpenAI has rolled out a new integration that connects ChatGPT directly to Apple's Messages app, allowing users to have the AI write and send texts without switching apps. Instead of asking ChatGPT for wording and copy-pasting it into a conversation, users can hand off the whole task, letting the assistant draft a reply and dispatch it straight to the recipient.
The plug-in fits into OpenAI's broader push to make ChatGPT less of a standalone chatbot and more of an ambient assistant woven into daily apps, following similar moves into browsers, calendars, and productivity tools. Apple's Messages ecosystem is a particularly personal one, given its central role in text-based communication for millions of iPhone users.
Details on permissions, whether it works only for outgoing drafts or full autonomous replies, and how much oversight users retain haven't been fully specified yet.
