Do you ever struggle to get ChatGPT to emulate your tone, style, or voice? You may soon be able to connect your sent messages through third-party services so that ChatGPT can learn your writing style and better copy you in the future.
The feature is in testing with a select group of users, first spotted by Gael Breton on X before being reported by Bleeping Computer. Breton’s post shows the feature, with a description: “ChatGPT will write in your voice by referencing examples from your connected apps.”
For professionals across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider Middle East managing communications on platforms like Slack and Gmail, this upcoming feature promises sharper localization for professional messaging. While OpenAI applies standard international pricing rather than regional discounts, users can easily manage subscriptions through local banking cards.
In the example, it breaks down the connected apps into Documents, Email, and Messaging with Slack, Notion, Google Drive, and Gmail, all visible. It may also be able to use other connected apps via ChatGPT’s tools for third-party services, expanding on tools like ChatGPT acting as your browser for daily workflows.
In reply to the post, another ChatGPT user said they’ve had access to the feature for weeks and found it to be a “game changer.” It’s unclear whether the app will read everything sent through the connected app once or periodically refer back to it to help adapt your writing style.
OpenAI has yet to officially announce this tool, but it often tests new ideas with select users ahead of launch. PCMag was unable to activate the feature during testing.
If you have the option, you’ll find it in Settings > Personalization > Writing. There’s a toggle called Reference my writing style, which, if available to you, can be toggled on or set up by pressing Set up writing style in the description.
OpenAI has already had a particularly busy September, including the release of its new Astra model and the disclosure of another incident involving GPT-powered agents. A group of researchers discovered that OpenAI agents had made over 15,000 edits to the German database DseWiki, a resource for coders.
Writing style features and availability in the UAE and Saudi Arabia
If you are coordinating teams in Dubai, Riyadh, or Cairo, leveraging AI writing tools requires factoring in standard subscription costs. OpenAI prices ChatGPT Plus at $20 a month (roughly 73 AED, or about 75 SAR before factoring in Saudi Arabia’s 15% VAT and bank conversion fees, bringing totals closer to 86.25 SAR).
Payment compatibility is straightforward across most regional institutions, though users should ensure their cards support international USD transactions if local payment methods like Mada encounter restrictions. Whether you access tools via corporate networks or personal connections on Etisalat/e&, du, or STC, having your chatbot mimic your exact tone will soon simplify cross-border correspondence.
