OpenAI has introduced a new Apple Messages plugin for ChatGPT, offering users the capability to integrate their Messages inbox directly with the AI chatbot.
OpenAI highlights numerous advantages to this integration. The plugin enables users to sort, analyze, or edit their messages within ChatGPT. Furthermore, its compatibility with Codex and ChatGPT Work extends its utility to professional applications, beyond personal use.
A promotional advertisement for the new plugin illustrates a user leveraging the chatbot to generate suggested follow-up messages for contacts, based on communications received the prior day.
Capabilities also include instructing ChatGPT to delete specific messages, compose and dispatch messages on a user's behalf, or retrieve information embedded within extensive message histories.
This novel AI feature naturally prompts privacy considerations. OpenAI informed Bloomberg that the plugin operates locally on the user's device and "doesn’t create an index of all someone’s messages." However, the precise implications of this statement require further clarification, with TechCrunch having sought additional details from OpenAI.
Regarding message dispatch, OpenAI advises users to actively monitor ChatGPT's actions and cautions against enabling persistent approval. The company explicitly warns that this setting "removes your final chance to review a message before ChatGPT sends it as you," underscoring the importance of user oversight.
