Here’s a welcome change. OpenAI just announced iCloud Mail and Calendar plugin support for ChatGPT. That means you can connect ChatGPT to your Apple email and calendar just like Gmail and other services.

For iCloud Mail and Calendar users, this should hopefully enable connecting ChatGPT features like the proactive agent Dots feature for the first time.

For now, the post announcement specifically mentions ChatGPT compatibility on the web, desktop, and iOS. Various ChatGPT features don’t always work together as expected to start out, so we’ll need to test and see how far this extends through the app’s features like Dots, Work, and Codex.
