在Mac上,原本散落在聊天窗口里的约饭、生日和未完成事项,现在可以被一句话召回。OpenAI已为macOS(苹果电脑操作系统)版ChatGPT上线Apple Messages连接器:获得系统权限后,用户可以搜索iMessage、短信和RCS(富通信服务)对话,让ChatGPT整理记录、起草回复,甚至代为发送消息。

On Mac, meal plans, birthdays and unfinished tasks that were once scattered across chat windows can now be retrieved with a single prompt. OpenAI has launched an Apple Messages connector for the macOS (Apple's operating system for its computers) version of ChatGPT. After obtaining system permission, users can search iMessage, SMS and RCS (Rich Communication Services) conversations, ask ChatGPT to organize the records and draft replies, and even have it send messages on their behalf.

它处理的不是单纯的关键词查找。用户可以要求ChatGPT找出前一天需要跟进的消息,也可以让它读取朋友的聚餐邀约,再结合日历找出合适时间并写好回复;消息里提到的生日,也能被找出并加入日历。ChatGPT仍会把拟好的文字放在确认卡片中,用户修改并确认后,消息才会进入对话。

Translation · English

It does more than simple keyword searches. Users can ask ChatGPT to find messages from the previous day that require follow-up, or have it read a friend's invitation to dine together, check the calendar for a suitable time and prepare a reply. Birthdays mentioned in messages can also be identified and added to the calendar. ChatGPT still places the proposed text in a confirmation card, and the message enters the conversation only after the user edits and confirms it.

但入口很窄。ITmedia NEWS报道,这个连接器目前只存在于Apple芯片(arm64)版本的macOS桌面应用,且只能在Codex或ChatGPT Work聊天中使用;普通ChatGPT聊天、网页版、移动版、Codex命令行工具和集成开发环境扩展都不支持。用户还必须先在macOS中授予消息访问权限,并从插件列表安装Apple Messages。

Translation · English

But access is narrow. ITmedia NEWS reports that the connector currently exists only in the arm64 version of the macOS desktop app for Apple-chip Macs, and can be used only in Codex or ChatGPT Work chats. Regular ChatGPT chats, the web version, mobile apps, the Codex command-line tool and integrated development environment extensions are not supported. Users must also first grant message access in macOS and install Apple Messages from the plug-in list.

发送权限是最需要留意的一道闸门。默认设置要求用户逐条检查正文和收件人;“只允许这一次”只覆盖当前发送,而“始终允许向此会话发送”会让后续消息跳过人工批准。OpenAI建议,在可能包含不可信或容易误解指令的对话中保持逐次确认。若任务被设为“完全访问”,审批提示可能无法出现,消息也可能无法发送,此时需要改为请求批准或代为批准。

Translation · English

Sending permissions are the gate users need to watch most closely. The default setting requires users to check the message body and recipient one by one. “Allow this time only” applies only to the current send, while “Always allow sending to this conversation” causes subsequent messages to bypass human approval. OpenAI recommends keeping per-message confirmation enabled for conversations that may contain untrusted instructions or instructions that are easy to misunderstand. If a task is set to “Full access,” the approval prompt may not appear and the message may fail to send; in that case, the setting must be changed to request approval or allow approval on the user's behalf.

具体改变是什么? 对个人用户,它减少了从聊天记录中翻找上下文、再切换到日历和消息应用的步骤;对使用Codex或ChatGPT Work的人,它把消息检索和回复草稿带进了工作流。不过,这仍是一个受平台、芯片和聊天类型限制的已上线功能,而不是所有设备上的系统级助手。OpenAI称连接器在本机运行且不会建立全部消息索引,但TechCrunch指出相关细节尚未完全明确,消息权限和自动发送的边界仍需要用户自己把住。

Translation · English

What exactly changes? For individual users, the feature reduces the steps needed to search chat histories for context and then switch to the calendar and messaging apps. For people using Codex or ChatGPT Work, it brings message retrieval and reply drafting into their workflows. However, it remains a launched feature constrained by platform, chip and chat type, rather than a system-level assistant available on every device. OpenAI says the connector runs locally and does not create an index of all messages, but TechCrunch notes that the relevant details are not yet fully clear. Users must still set their own boundaries around message permissions and automated sending.
