TL;DR
What did u/myrandomtips use ChatGPT for?
A ChatGPT user connected a dedicated Outlook inbox and their personal Gmail, so they can casually ask ChatGPT to email them about something later and it queues a scheduled email with the context they wanted. Their first try queued an email in Outlook for delayed delivery one hour later, which turned the inbox into a personal reminder system with context written in.
What they did
They connected a separate Outlook inbox for the AI through ChatGPT's Outlook connector and their personal Gmail through the Gmail connector. In chat they say something like "Email me about this next Friday at 6pm," and ChatGPT writes the email from the Outlook account to their Gmail and schedules it.
How it went
Their first try queued an email in Outlook for delayed delivery one hour later, which turned the inbox into a personal reminder system with context written in.
Worth knowing
- Commenters warn that an AI with its own inbox could be targeted by scam or spam emails, so keep it to reminders and don't connect sensitive accounts you don't need.
- Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).
