Connect iMessage to Gemini

• Catch you up

  Ask what you missed and Gemini reads your unread iMessage chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.

  get_messages_to_summarize

• Find any message

  The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Gemini searches your iMessage history and quotes the message.

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  Gemini writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.

  draft_reply

• Send with your OK

  When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own iMessage account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

   Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Gemini never sees the rest.

4. 4

   Ask Gemini about your iMessage

   Open a new conversation in Gemini and ask about your chats. Gemini calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.

• iMessage in ConnectChats

  A Mac that stays on is required. Without one, iMessage cannot be connected, because Apple offers no other way in. One to one chats and group chats are supported, including SMS from your iPhone if Text Message Forwarding is on for that Mac. Messages arrive while the Mac is awake. If it sleeps or shuts down, new messages wait until it is back. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions.

• ConnectChats in Gemini

  The Gemini web app can add custom apps from an MCP server URL on eligible accounts. Add ConnectChats once, sign in with your passkey, and pick it with @ in any prompt where you want Gemini to see your chats. Google limits custom apps in Gemini to people 18 or older in the US, signed in with a personal Google account, in English, with Keep Activity on. Work and school accounts are not supported. Custom apps are connected in the Gemini web app, then also work in the Gemini mobile app. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Gemini without linking them again. ConnectChats only sees the chats you choose to share, and it asks for your approval before any reply is sent.

• You pick the chats

  Gemini only sees the iMessage chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.

• Drafts by default

  Gemini prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches iMessage, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.

• Stored messages are encrypted

  Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
