ChatGPT Can Now Text Customers For You Via Apple Messages

OpenAI just launched a plug-in that lets ChatGPT send text messages for you directly through Apple's Messages app. For a small business owner, this means you could soon have AI draft and send routine texts to customers—appointment reminders, follow-ups, answers to common questions—without you typing a word. It's a practical, everyday tool (not just a research demo) that could save real time on customer communication. Since it works right inside an app most people already use, there's no complicated setup or new software to learn. Keep an eye on this as it rolls out; it could become an easy way to automate part of your customer outreach.
