Work with Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets from AI
Google Workspace servers connect an assistant to the files you already keep in Drive. Depending on the server, it can search Drive, read and edit Docs, pull ranges from Sheets, add rows, and sometimes reach Gmail or Calendar as well. Typical jobs are summarizing a long proposal, cleaning up a shared spreadsheet, or building a report from several files. Setup usually means creating an OAuth client in Google Cloud and signing in once, which is the fiddliest part. Use a scope that matches the job, and prefer read-only access until you trust the workflow.
