iDrop News reports that a new Apple Messages plugin for the ChatGPT Mac app lets ChatGPT Work and Codex search message history, review conversations, draft replies and send messages. The report says users must grant access to Messages and Contacts, and that approval is required by default before a message is sent. It also says settings can be changed for a chat to allow sending without review.
