- Openai’s GPT-5 debut included the unveiling of a new integration that allows chatgpt pro users to link their gmail, Google Calendar and Google Contacts directly to Chatbot
- Chatgpt can summarize your day, create a schedule and mark important e emails
- Although an opt-in function that requires user confirmation, privacy is likely to be raised
Speclacle of GPT-5 may have overshadowed some of Openai’s other news during its livestream on Thursday, but the demonstration of Chatgpt’s new ability to directly review and analyze a user’s Google data caught my eye as a big moment in Chatgpt’s development and Openai’s fight for supremacy among Ai-Chatbots.
The new feature allows chatgpt users to connect the AI -Chatbot to their Gmail, Google Contacts and Google Calendar Data. The demo showed Chatgpt similar to a request to view a schedule the following day by going through the user’s calendar and e -mail inbox and then quickly preparing a complete and complex schedule, including important unread e emails to answer.
This may not sound like a breakthrough for someone already overwhelmed with their digital list of things to do, but chatgpt -sorting this information and putting them in front of you can actually lower your stress, at least judge by the demo.
It is easy to imagine an AI contour for your day or a push to deal with the still read message, reducing the mental workload by carving the dull sorting and interconnection of scheduled events to relevant emails. You can say, “What’s on my plate today?” And see your calendar paired with the marked E -mail. It would mean no more to switch between gmail and your calendar that shoots over what’s urgent.
Furthermore, the data can help chatgpt to learn more about you and your needs by reading the meeting Invite you have sent, you have hardly hit, and RSVPs, you sent the other you got the invitation. For the moment, this option is only available to Chatgpt Pro users, although Openai promised it would soon become more accessible.
Chatgpt doesn’t sneak a look at your messages
That said, the idea of handing over Gmail and calendar data to Chatgpt may possibly raise an eyebrow or two for good reason. Gmail could have confirmation of medical appointments and secret romantic meeting plans.
However, do not worry about unintentionally sharing these details with chatgpt. You will need to sign up to link your accounts to chatgpt and confirm actions before they occur, which prevents E emails from automatically sent.
Then there are plenty of smart planning bots and e-mail supplies that automatically draw event details or remind you of unanswered invitations. But Chatgpt’s integration actually adds conversation to the mixture. You do not forward an E email or create complex rules for how the automated system should respond to certain family members. You just write regular language and it will work more like a human secretary.
Assuming that you are comfortable with the concept, you can see how those who use Google and Chatgpt can appreciate connecting the two. Especially if you’re not a fan of Google Gemini for some reason. You can long to have an AI chatbot that is connected to your Google account but simply prefer chatgpt rather than Gemini. Openai will give you that opportunity.
If Google does not have an exclusive claim to link your email and calendar to an AI-Chatbot, Openai can hope to win in other areas where it may feel that it has the benefit, like the power of GPT-5. You just have to be okay with letting chatgpt see what weddings you attend in the next few months.
