- Openai’s GPT-5 debut included the revelation of a new integration that allows ChatgPT pro en lalect users, Google Calendar and Google Contacts directly to Chatbot
- Chatgpt can summarize its day, create a schedule and mark important emails
- Although a subscription function that requires user’s confirmation, it is likely that privacy problems are proposed
The GPT-5 show may have eclipsed some of Openai’s other news during its live broadcast on Thursday, but the demonstration of Chatgpt’s new capacity to read and analyze a user’s Google data directly caught my attention as an important moment in the development of Chatgpt and the battle of OpenI for the supremacy between the chatbots of ia.
The new function allows Chatgpt users to connect the Chatbot AI to their Gmail, Google data and Google calendar data. The demonstration showed to ChatgPT responding to a request to see a schedule of the next day when passing through the calendar and the user’s email input tray, then quickly compiling a complete and complex schedule, including important emails not read to respond.
This may not seem a great advance for anyone who is already overwhelmed with their digital list of things to do, but Chatgpt classifies that information and putting it in front of you could actually reduce your stress, at least judging by the demonstration.
It is easy to imagine an AI scheme for your day, or a push to handle that message still without reading, reducing the mental workload by cutting the tedious classification and the link of events scheduled for relevant emails. You could say: “What is on my dish today?” And see your calendar combined with that marked email. That would mean that no more alternate between Gmail and his calendar, narrowing his eyes in what is urgent.
In addition, the data could help Chatgpt learn more about you and your needs reading the meeting invitations you have sent, deadlines that you have barely reached and RSVP that sent the second that received the invitation. For now, this option is only available for Chatgpt Pro users, although Openai promised that it would be more widely available soon.
Chatgpt will not take a look at your messages
That said, the idea of delivering data from Gmail and calendar to Chatgpt could lift an eyebrow or two for a good reason. Gmail could have the confirmation of medical appointments and secret romantic appointment plans.
However, do not worry about inadvertently sharing those details with Chatgpt. You must choose to link your accounts to Chatgpt and confirm the actions before they occur, which will prevent emails being sent automatically.
On the other hand, there are many intelligent programming bots and email accessories that automatically extract the details of the event or remind you of lost invitations. But Chatgpt’s integration adds a real conversation to the mixture. Do not forward an email or configure complex rules of how the automated system must respond to certain family members. Simply write regular language, and act more as a human secretary.
Assuming that you agree with the concept, you can see how those who use Google and Chatgpt could assess the linking of the two. Especially if you are not a Google Gemini fan for one reason or another. It is possible that I yearn to have a chatbot of the connected to your Google account, but simply prefer Chatgpt to Gemini. Operai wants to give him that option.
If Google does not have an exclusive claim to link its email and calendar to an AI chatbot, then OpenAi can expect to win in other areas where you can feel the advantage, such as the power of GPT-5. You just have to agree to let Chatgpt see what weddings you will attend in the coming months.
