OpenAI Adds iCloud Plugins Letting ChatGPT Read Email and Edit Calendar
With user permission, the two plugins let ChatGPT check an iCloud inbox, draft and manage emails, and update iCloud Calendar events.
OpenAI released two new iCloud plugins for ChatGPT on October 27, 2026, according to AppleInsider. The plugins give the chatbot access to an iCloud inbox and calendar once the user grants permission.
The first plugin lets ChatGPT read and check an iCloud inbox and create and manage emails. The second works with calendar events, and the two can be combined: ChatGPT can update events in the iCloud Calendar using details it gathers from iCloud emails.
Access is conditional on user approval, and the plugins operate on email and calendar data tied to Apple's iCloud service.
Arrival alongside new Macs
The iCloud plugins emerged after the debut of an upgraded M6 iMac and a 14-inch MacBook Pro, AppleInsider reported.
