Apple is incorporating ChatGPT into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, enabling users to utilize ChatGPT’s features—such as image and document analysis—seamlessly without switching between different tools.
Siri can leverage ChatGPT’s intelligence when beneficial. Before any queries, documents, or photos are sent to ChatGPT, Apple users will be asked for consent, and Siri will then deliver the response directly.
Furthermore, ChatGPT will be integrated into Apple’s systemwide Writing Tools to assist users in generating content for their writing projects. Users can also use ChatGPT's image generation tools to create images in various styles to enhance their work.
Privacy measures are incorporated when accessing ChatGPT through Siri and Writing Tools—requests are not stored by OpenAI, and users’ IP addresses are masked. Users can also opt to link their ChatGPT account, applying their data preferences under ChatGPT’s policies.
This ChatGPT integration, powered by GPT-4o, will be available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS later this year. Users can access it for free without needing to create an account, while ChatGPT subscribers can connect their accounts and utilize paid features directly from these platforms.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, expressed excitement about the collaboration with Apple, stating, "We are thrilled to collaborate with Apple to introduce ChatGPT to their users in a novel way. Apple shares our dedication to safety and innovation, and this partnership aligns with OpenAI's mission to make advanced AI accessible to everyone. Together with Apple, we are simplifying access to the benefits AI can offer."
