Description:
ChatGPT just got access to your Gmail and Calendar here's how it works.

FULL STORY ======================================================================OpenAI adds Connectors for Gmail and Calendars You can now access Gmail in chat and in Deep Research The feature is new for Plus and Pro users

OpenAI has finally flicked the switch, and now ChatGPT Plus and Pro users globally can connect Gmail and Google Calendar to ChatGPT. This is a feature that Gemini has had for some time, so its great to finally get it in ChatGPT.

Since I use Gmail for just about everything, Ive been waiting for OpenAI to hook into it for ages, and now that its here, I can search emails from within ChatGPT, not to mention ask it to perform some handy analysis.

For example, a few useful things to ask ChatGPT, once youve connected it to Gmail, are Who emails me the most? and Who havent I replied to? or What recent emails require action?

Or, if you really cant be bothered to open Gmail and you live in ChatGPT all day, you could ask it, Who has emailed me today?

Of course, you can do the same thing with your Calendar app. Just ask
ChatGPT, What meetings have I got today? . This works especially well when combined with ChatGPT Voice. When you activate ChatGPT Voice, you can just start a conversation and ask ChatGPT what meetings you have today, and it
will tell you.

Whats more, you can also use your Gmail inbox and your Calendar as a source for a Deep Research query. So, if you want to do some serious analysis of
your inbox, you can now direct ChatGPTs most in-depth research tool straight at it. Getting set up (Image credit: OpenAI/Apple)

Accessing these key Google services in ChatGPT requires a bit of setting up first. You need to go to Settings (which is accessed by clicking or tapping
on your user name), then choosing Settings, and then Connectors .

Here youll be able to link your Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, and Contacts
to ChatGPT. Youll need to grant ChatGPT access in a few screens as you do this, but you only need to do it once.

Now that you are connected, you can just type in questions about your Gmail inbox or Calendar to ChatGPT. Going deeper

If you want to use ChatGPT with Deep Research, then the process seems to differ between the Web version of ChatGPT and the mobile version.

In the Web version of ChatGPT, when you click on Deep Research, a Sources box appears next to it, and here you can select Gmail or Google Calendar from the drop-down menu.

On the mobile version of ChatGPT, when you tap on Deep Research , you dont
get a Sources box; however, it can still connect to your Gmail. Just ask it a question involving Gmail and you'll find that it can answer it.

Now that Gmail and Calendar are connected to ChatGPT, I can finally get it to perform more like the all-around personal assistant I want it to be. You
