GoKawiilOpenAI lets users text their ChatGPT dot via iMessage and RCS
OpenAI has extended its proactive ChatGPT dot agent feature beyond the main app, letting users message it directly through iMessage and RCS on their phones. Users can assign tasks or ask the dot to monitor things using text, photos, or voice notes, and it will reply proactively with updates through the Messages app. Setup involves selecting 'Texting' from the dot's profile, with OpenAI stating the feature does not grant access to other text conversations.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Embedding an AI agent directly into native messaging apps could make ChatGPT feel less like a separate destination and more like an ambient assistant woven into daily communication habits. It may also unofficially pave the way for ChatGPT access on devices like the Apple Watch that lack a dedicated app, according to the reporting, though this remains unconfirmed. The move suggests OpenAI is prioritizing integration into existing user workflows rather than requiring people to open a separate app.
- ChatGPT's proactive dot agent is now accessible via iMessage and RCS texting.
- Users can assign tasks or monitoring requests using text, photos, or voice notes.
- OpenAI says the feature does not expose other text conversations to the dot or company.
