ChatGPT’s Mac App Can Now Control iMessage, Testing Apple’s Limits

gizmodo.com

OpenAI has launched a ChatGPT feature for Mac that can read, write, and send iMessage texts, potentially straining its relationship with Apple, which is currently suing OpenAI. The update, available to ChatGPT Work and Codex users on Apple Silicon Macs, requires several opt-in permissions and runs locally without indexing messages. Bloomberg confirmed the feature uses existing system tools, while Apple has not commented. Apple is suing OpenAI for alleged trade secret theft and has historically blocked third-party iMessage integrations, such as Beeper Mini. The feature also competes with Apple’s upcoming Siri AI.
