Work & OperationsDone with ChatGPT Agent Jul 18, 2025
Send emails from a signed-in inbox
A commenter reports ChatGPT agent actually sent emails after the user signed into their email account, and asks whether it can buy plane tickets.
- What They Did
- In the Reddit thread, the poster says they used ChatGPT agent for tasks like booking appointments, sending emails, and sending messages to their boss. In a follow-up comment, they clarify the email case: the agent asked them to sign into their email account, they did, and it then actually sent the emails; elsewhere they say they also had it find about 10 tutors and write personalized outreach emails based on what each could teach.
- How It Went
- The reported result is that it sent real emails from the signed-in inbox, including outreach to around 10 tutors. The thread does not confirm the plane-ticket idea; that appears only as another commenter asking whether it can do that.
- Worth Knowing
- One useful catch from the thread is that a human still had to complete the email sign-in step before the agent could send anything.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
I'll sign into my email myself when you ask. Then send an email to [recipient] with the subject [subject] saying [key points]. Show me the full draft and recipient before you send it, and tell me once it has been sent.
