OpenAI today added iCloud Mail and Calendar plugins to ChatGPT, expanding the chatbot's access to personal data. With iCloud Calendar integration, ChatGPT can read, schedule, and update events shown in the iPhone Calendar app or any third-party app using iCloud Calendar. The Mail integration lets ChatGPT search and read iCloud Mail, manage messages and drafts, send email, and look up iCloud contacts.
iCloud Mail uses an Apple-provided email address ending in @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com. ChatGPT can only access iCloud Mail, not other iOS Mail app accounts like Gmail or Outlook. Users must create an app-specific password for both iCloud Mail and iCloud Calendar.
These plugins give ChatGPT similar access to personal data that Siri AI has, enhancing the chatbot's capabilities. iCloud access can also be used for Dots, the proactive AI agent OpenAI launched last month. The plugins are available on all plans across web, desktop, and iOS.
