The ChatGPT Connector integrates OpenAI's large language model to Gmail and Outlook allowing you to automate writing and answering emails and translating messages. The app works in desktop and mobile devices.

Aside from UI differences, the ChatGPT Connector Gmail and Outlook versions are alike. This documentation shows screenshots from Gmail, however instructions remain consistent across versions.
