ChatGPT gains access to iCloud Mail and Calendar

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 21:32 · Archive

OpenAI has added iCloud Mail and Calendar plugins to ChatGPT, letting the chatbot read, schedule and update emails and calendar events.

OpenAI has added iCloud Mail and Calendar plugins to ChatGPT, allowing the chatbot to access Apple's email and calendar services. With iCloud Calendar integration, ChatGPT can read, schedule and update events that appear in the iPhone Calendar app or any third-party app that uses iCloud Calendar. The Mail integration lets ChatGPT search and read iCloud Mail, manage messages and drafts, send emails and look up iCloud contacts.

To use the plugins, users must log in with an Apple account and create an app-specific password for both iCloud Mail and iCloud Calendar. The plugins are available across web, desktop and iOS on all ChatGPT plans. Users with paid Pro subscriptions can also use the plugins with Dots, OpenAI's proactive AI agent launched last month.

ChatGPT can only access iCloud Mail, not other email accounts that may be configured in the iOS Mail app, such as Gmail or Outlook. The iCloud Mail and Calendar plugins give ChatGPT access similar to what Siri AI has to personal data, expanding the capabilities of the chatbot.
