I have an idea about an opt-in mobile app

First, I want to express how delighted I am with ChatGPT! It has been an incredible tool for enhancing productivity, creativity, and communication. Thank you for your dedication to building such a remarkable AI assistant!

I had an idea I wanted to share: an opt-in mobile app that would allow ChatGPT to assist with sending and receiving text messages. Here’s how it could work:

  • User Consent: Users could install the app and opt in to give ChatGPT access to their messaging and contacts, with full control over which features they want to enable.
  • Granular Privacy Controls: Options to limit access to certain contacts or message types (e.g., only work-related texts).
  • Data Security: Messages and contacts would remain encrypted and processed securely, ensuring compliance with privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA.
  • Transparency: A detailed log of interactions so users can monitor and manage permissions.

This app would make ChatGPT even more helpful by streamlining communication tasks like drafting, responding, or prioritizing texts, all while respecting user privacy.

I understand the complexities around privacy and accountability, but this opt-in approach might help alleviate those concerns while opening up exciting new possibilities for AI assistants.

Imagine this scenario, Chat says, “You have a message from your Aunt who wants you to come clean her windows on Saturday?” And you say to Chat, “Please make a polite and believable excuse for me…”

It would be great!
