And just like that, someone is going to vibe code and take down their entire google workspace at their job.
The bigger story is that this opens up command line interface tools to work with your Google stuff. While it’s possible that that’s AI it doesn’t have to be.
Google making Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Docs “agent-ready” sounds like a big step toward AI actually doing real work instead of just assisting. If AI agents can safely interact with everyday tools like these, it could automate a lot of routine tasks but it also raises important questions about permissions, security, and data control.
Question is: how to opt out? Can we even opt out??
You know privacy? Gone. Did you store anything personal? Gone. Does anyone know how AI works internally? No. Basically you are making a deeply detailed personal profile for targeted marketing. Even high price tolerances (the most you will pay for any particular good or service to maximize profits).
If i was a super sentient AI this is how I would start taking over the world.
agent-ready basically means AI tools can interact with your workspace more autonomously… like agents summarizing email threads, organizing files, or drafting docs based on context… if implemented well, it could genuinely change how knowledge work gets done
Time to migrate away from the crabs
CRUD is not AI agent ready.
You need one of:
* data state / journaling data maintenance – so you can inspect and revert when the ai deletes everything
* a “propose-accept” workflow on data transformations, especially deletes.
* something else?
Without something like this, giving an agent anything beyond read only access to your work documents is like playing roulette with a hand grenade.
I gave mine read / write to my calendar but zero access to my email. It only gets the info I give it. I’m definitely not maximizing its capabilities but the risks are too high to even give it read access to my email (at least currently).
Workspace was already working with gems which were pretty close to agents already in how you can structure them and schedule them.
welp, time to make sure everything important is elsewhere. anywhere else good for free storage? box? or should i just get my own domain space?
Screw the AI spin they’re putting in this, a CLI for Google Workspace is great!
As long as i can opt out.
>OpenClaw
Is it called that because they know they can just grab your data freely?
The project they’re referring to is not officially affiliated with Google. It’s an open source project by one of the Googlers afaik
I’m going to sue. Ten years ago when I started my Gmail. No where did t mention that, I would be required to share private information conversations and legal documents.
