OpenAI’s ChatGPT can now draft and send text messages on behalf of users through a newly introduced Apple Messages integration. The automated tool acts as a personal text scribe, allowing individuals to generate contextual responses, schedule communications, and dispatch conversational replies directly through the native iOS messaging ecosystem. The feature leverages ChatGPT’s language processing capabilities to streamline everyday digital communication for consumers and professionals. This rollout marks another step in expanding generative artificial intelligence assistants directly into standard smartphone operating systems, shifting AI from standalone web portals into core mobile communication workflows.
