I sent an email without opening Gmail thanks to ChatGPT — then I found the catch (www.techradar.com)

ChatGPT has introduced a new feature that allows users to draft and send emails directly from the chat interface without needing to open Gmail or Outlook. This functionality, currently available to most paid users in the web version, connects directly to their email accounts, streamlining the process of email communication. However, it does have significant limitations: it does not support sending attachments and is restricted to certain subscription tiers, excluding free users and mobile app access. This development is particularly noteworthy as it positions ChatGPT as a more capable AI assistant compared to competitors like Google's Gemini, which cannot send emails directly. The ability to manage email tasks within ChatGPT could enhance user productivity, allowing seamless transitions from drafting to sending. Nonetheless, the lack of attachment functionality is a substantial drawback since file sharing is a core use case for email. As OpenAI refines this feature, expanding supported email providers and integrating attachment capabilities would be essential for broader adoption and practicality in everyday communications.
