ChatGPT can now send text messages via Apple Messages

OpenAI released a plug-in that lets ChatGPT compose and send iMessages/text messages on a user's behalf through Apple's Messages app. The integration turns ChatGPT into an active agent for another everyday task rather than just a chat interface.

Why it matters: This extends OpenAI's push to make ChatGPT take real-world actions instead of just answering questions, following similar moves into scheduling, shopping, and browsing. Each new integration point also routes more of a user's personal communications through a third-party AI system, raising familiar privacy and trust questions.
