Regarding eligibility, OpenAI officially announced that the plugins are available to users on all ChatGPT plans, including the Free, Go, Plus and Pro consumer plans. Supported platforms include the ChatGPT web, desktop and iOS apps.
Regarding features, OpenAI said that, with user authorization, ChatGPT can read and inspect iCloud inboxes, create and manage emails, and create or update events directly in Apple Calendar based on information in emails about meetings, flights, schedules and other matters.
For iPhone, iPad and Mac users, ChatGPT can take a more active role in daily tasks: for example, identifying meeting times in emails and automatically creating calendar events, organizing itineraries, drafting replies or reminding users about tasks. OpenAI said this move significantly improves ChatGPT’s compatibility with iCloud Mail and Apple Calendar.
Technology outlet AppleInsider noted that the update has also sparked discussion about privacy and competition. Users must explicitly authorize ChatGPT to access their email and calendars; emails often contain sensitive account, travel, financial and work information, so the scope of access and how data is handled will be the issues of greatest concern to ordinary users.
