Use ChatGPT with Apple Intelligence on Mac
If you choose to allow your Mac to work with ChatGPT* from OpenAI, you can do the following:
Use Siri to access ChatGPT: Siri can tap into ChatGPT to provide answers when that might be helpful for certain requests, including questions about photos and documents.
Use ChatGPT with Writing Tools: ChatGPT can compose text or images from just a description.
Connect your ChatGPT account: You don’t need a ChatGPT account, but if you have one — free or paid — you can connect to your account. With a ChatGPT paid account, your Mac can use the most powerful ChatGPT capabilities more often.
You control when ChatGPT is used and will be asked before any of your information is shared.
Note: The ChatGPT extension is available with Apple Intelligence** in macOS 15.2 or later on Mac models with M1 or later. To check whether Apple Intelligence is available for your device and language, see the Apple Support article Apple Intelligence requirements. You must be at least 13 years old or the minimum age required in your country to consent to use ChatGPT. For more information, see OpenAI Terms of Use.

The ChatGPT extension and privacy

OpenAI does not receive any information tied to your Apple Account. Your IP address is obscured from ChatGPT, but your general location is provided. OpenAI must process your request solely for the purpose of fulfilling it and not store your request or any responses it provides unless required under applicable laws. OpenAI also must not use your request to improve or train its models. When you are signed in, your ChatGPT account settings and OpenAI’s data privacy policies will apply.
