ChatGPT will analyze Gmail emails, manage schedule on Google Calendar

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-10-14 00:29:30

ChatGPT appears to be testing support for Gmail and Google Calendar integration. This will allow users to summarise emails and create events. ChatGPT already supports Gmail integration, but it's tied to Deep Research. Right now, you can use information from Gmail in your Deep Research reports, but it's not possible to pull up emails from Gmail and summarise them. As spotted by Tibor on X, ChatGPT is now actively testing support for integrating Gmail and Calendar, so you can stay "organized."

Twenty years ago this week, the first season of the revived era of Doctor Who came to an end with “The Parting of the Ways,” as did the tenure of Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor. Ready to sacrifice it all to stop the Daleks, the Ninth Doctor’s final moments remain a vital moment in Doctor Who history. It was the first time in decades since Doctor Who had asked its audience to trust in the magic of the series’ defining trick to survival and re-invention: the magic of regeneration itself. Ec

Neanderthals Spread Across Asia With Surprising Speed—and Now We Know How

Neanderthals and modern humans split from a common ancestor around 500,000 years ago, with Neanderthals leaving Africa for Europe and Asia long before modern humans joined them hundreds of thousands of years later. There, Neanderthals dispersed as far as Spain and Siberia. Our prehistoric cousins likely first reached Asia around 190,000 to 130,000 years ago, with another substantial migration to Central and Eastern Eurasia likely between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago.
