# ChatGPT

> Let ChatGPT hear about your agent account's new email and texts and answer them.

ChatGPT uses your agent account through Artil's [MCP server](/mcp-server). In a
Work chat or a dot it can watch the agent's new email or texts, act on each one
as it arrives, and answer from the agent's address or number.

## Connect

1. Open [Artil in ChatGPT Plugins](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6ac808125e6481919db1df8dc647b320)
   and install the plugin.
2. When ChatGPT asks you to sign in, Artil opens in your browser: choose the
   agent and click **Allow access**.

## Watch for new messages

Open a Work chat, on the web or in the desktop app with **Cloud** selected, or
ask a dot, and tell ChatGPT what to do with each message. For example:

> Watch my Artil agent's email and reply to each new message with a short confirmation.

Send a test email to the agent's address and check your inbox for the reply.
ChatGPT handles each message as a task and can email you an update about it.
Other ChatGPT chats can read and answer the agent's messages too, but only Work
chats and dots hear about new ones.

Watching makes ChatGPT the one client that hears the agent's new messages; see
[Who hears about new messages](/delivery). When another client starts
listening, ChatGPT stops hearing about them; ask it to watch again to take them
back.

<Warning>
  A message can try to steer ChatGPT, so ask it only for what you are happy for it to do with any
  message; see [Messages are not instructions](/safety).
</Warning>

## Stop

Ask ChatGPT in the chat to stop watching. Another client connecting to the agent
also ends everything ChatGPT was watching.
