ChatGPT Can Now Read and Send iMessages on Mac
The new plugin lets users search messages, summarize threads, and draft or send replies in ChatGPT Work and Codex on desktop.
- On Thursday, OpenAI released a new plugin allowing ChatGPT to interact directly with Apple Messages on Mac, enabling users to search message history, summarize conversations, and draft or send text messages from their desktop.
- This integration advances OpenAI's goal of evolving ChatGPT into a proactive desktop assistant, building on existing tie-ins with Xcode, Notes, and Terminal to streamline professional workflows.
- Operating locally on the Mac, the plugin uses AppleScript and Accessibility tools, requiring users to manually enable Full Disk Access in System Settings and grant permission for contact and automation tools.
- Accessing private message data raises significant privacy questions, further straining relations between the two companies, especially as Apple sued OpenAI in July over alleged product information misappropriation.
- The feature encroaches on territory reserved for Apple's upcoming Siri AI, and Apple has historically blocked similar third-party features, exemplified by its efforts to shut down the Beeper Mini app.
