OpenAI added iCloud Mail and Calendar plugins to ChatGPT. Users can now read, manage and update iCloud emails and events. The plugins work on web, desktop and iOS. They are available to free and paid ChatGPT plans. Pro plan users can also use the plugins with Dot. Access requires an Apple account and an app-specific password. The plugins only cover Apple’s own services. OpenAI announced the change on its official account.
