OpenAI rolls out an Apple Messages plugin for ChatGPT on macOS, letting ChatGPT read, search, and analyze chats, prepare and send messages, and more (Zac Hall/9to5Mac)
Well, this seems interesting. ChatGPT's latest update adds a new Mac integration: the ability to work with conversations from Apple's Messages app.
OpenAI has introduced a new plugin for ChatGPT that integrates with Apple's Messages app on macOS. This plugin allows ChatGPT to read, search, and analyze chats, as well as prepare and send messages. According to OpenAI, the plugin requires user consent to access information and runs locally on the Mac, using existing operating system tools such as AppleScript and Accessibility.
The plugin can be installed from the ChatGPT Plugins interface and is listed under Public. It allows users to perform various tasks, such as drafting messages, analyzing conversations, and searching for information in their messages. ChatGPT can access iMessages, SMS messages, and RCS messages.
The Business Times reports that the move has raised privacy concerns, given Apple's emphasis on protecting user data. Apple sued OpenAI last month, accusing the AI provider of stealing information about upcoming products. OpenAI stressed that it doesn't create an index of all someone's messages and requires user consent to access information.
