Gws Chat

What it does

The gws-chat skill enables AI agents to interact directly with Google Workspace services through a conversational interface. It bridges the gap between natural language commands and complex API operations within the Google ecosystem.

When to use it

• Automating routine administrative tasks like creating users or managing calendars without manual login.
• Querying specific data across Drive, Gmail, or Sheets using natural language instructions.
• Integrating Google Workspace functionality into custom workflows where a CLI is too technical for end-users.
• Streamlining collaboration by allowing agents to draft and send emails or update documents on behalf of users.

Key capabilities

• Direct integration with the googleworkspace/cli toolset.
• Conversational access to core Google Workspace applications.
• Installation via TrustedSkills registry for easy deployment.
• Support for 185+ active installations indicating community adoption.

Example prompts

• "Create a new calendar event titled 'Team Sync' for next Tuesday at 2 PM."
• "Draft an email to the marketing team summarizing last week's project updates and send it."
• "List all shared Google Drive folders accessible by my organization and their owners."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has appropriate OAuth credentials and permissions configured before attempting sensitive actions like sending emails or modifying files. Since this relies on the underlying CLI, verify that the specific Google Workspace API scopes required for your task are explicitly granted in the agent's configuration to avoid authentication errors.
