YouTube Deep Summary

So, the phrase gamechanging is overused. I like to reserve it for those special drops, and I'm going to roll it out today. You can see on GitHub, this repository is only 3 days old, and it's already shot up to 16,000 [music] stars. It gives AI agents full access to your entire Google workspace. Both beautiful and incredibly dangerous at the same time. Let me show you what this is, what the opportunity is, and how to get it set up. So, essentially, what you're getting here is one CLI to rule them all. Your Google Workspace CLI gives you access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Chat, Admin, Google Keep, everything that's under the Google Workspace stack. If you're new to this and not sure what a CLI is, it's an interface that is textbased, so it's perfect for AI agents to use and discover quickly. It gives them all the tools they need to carry out your bidding. AI agents have gotten incredibly powerful. The likes of Clawed Code, Cursor, Open Claw, the capability really is there. What's really been missing is a clean foundation, a way to give agents programmatic access to the infrastructure most businesses run on. Without that, it's been really difficult to build AI operating systems you could run or sell until now. So, in a nutshell, we have our agent that could be Claw Code, OpenClaw, Gemini CLI, whatever you want. All of the above work in code. It's what they love and they love CLIs and it's also got an MCP server. MCP historically has taken up a lot of token usage, but there are some scenarios where this is going to prove a good choice. So, here's why this matters for builders. You can use this to build out full AI operating systems for your business. I'm talking about a self-driving businesses, companies as code, or you can offer this as an agency service for others. Build templates and deploy systems in any niche. So, this is the Google stack, but how you work with it is absolutely super open. You can use whatever agent you like, whether that's Open Claw, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, even any agent you might build out yourself. Is such a big brain move from Google. They can't officially endorse agent access to email, Docs, Sheets, Drive. It's a total liability. But they do know where this is going. OpenClaw has proved huge demand for unfettered access to your systems, your docs, and everything else. So, what exactly do you get with the GWS CLI and MCP? Well, in terms of Gmail, it's not just about reading your emails. You can draft them, send them, search them, manage labels. This is all stuff that the plugins don't let you do. You can create files, edit them, organize, share them, and delete them. So, be careful with that. You can create and edit docs, create and edit sheets. It opens up the chat API so you can post messages and read messages. Imagine how powerful that will become. And so much more. So, this is the kind of sample automation that becomes possible across this stack. This system alone would save a ton of time, and it's just one of hundreds of different systems we can now automate. Think of the value this will provide to your business and to others. But even cooler than this, Google has gone and pre-built a load of agent skills with a lot of different personas and a lot of different types of common tasks that you might carry out in your business just to get you started. So, the idea of company as code or a self-driving company is not necessarily new. We've been talking about it for probably the last two years. the idea of having a database layer or a data layer and having agents work on top of that with workflows to carry out every part of what you need done for your business. But the thing is it wasn't fully possible until recently. The models have leveled up, harness engineering is there and the tooling is just about right. It's not like the models are getting hugely better, but the tooling and how they call tools and all the infrastructure around it really is just arriving right in time for this moment. You can see on GitHub, this repository is only 3 days old and it's already shot up to 16,000 stars. So, we have a few hoops to jump through here to get started, but I guarantee you it will be worth it. So, first of all, we're going to copy this command here. And this is going to install the workspace CLI. So, open up your terminal on a Mac or your PowerShell if you're in Windows and run this command in the terminal. You're going to need Node installed. So, you can get that from NodeJS and install that as well beforehand. Great. So, that's the Workspace CLI installed, but you're also going to need the Google Cloud CLI that allows you to set up projects and infrastructure, and this is the tool that's used to connect the two things together. So, you want to go to the Google Cloud SDK and install the Google Cloud CLI. Google provides a ton of infrastructure for developers like databases, cloud storage, lots more stuff. And essentially, we're going to use the CLI, which helps us interact with that to set up some permissions so we can actually operate the GWS CLI. So depending on your type of machine, you're going to install the following. I've got a Mac OS, so I'm going to download this one for Apple Silicon. So once you've unzipped that file, you're basically going to have a folder a bit like this. Depending on whether you're on a Windows or a Mac machine, you can run either install.bat or install.sh. So you make sure that you are in the right folder here. So I'm in the Google Cloud SDK folder here. And then you're going to run this command if you're on a Mac.installsh. It says welcome to the Google Cloud CLI. So you're going to let it modify your profile to update your path. You're going to say okay to edit your RC file. Now I've got a lot of this stuff installed already. It might try and install Python 3 if you don't already have that installed. I just go ahead and let that do that. If you're having any trouble with the installation, just ask cursor or claw code. Give it a test drive with G-Cloud in it. So, you'll be asked to do some setup there. I'm just going to reinitialize. I'm going to choose the account that I want to use for this configuration. In this case, it's that email. This is the important bit. You need to make sure you're using the right Google Cloud project. I'm going to say four. So, I'm going to call this one selfdriving company 3. So now, if I go back over here to switch dimension up here for my project selector, you should see it appear. Now, this interface is a little bit quirky. If you've used the CLI to set it up, it might not appear straight away. You'll have to refresh a little bit. Click on this. Be patient. It takes a minute to show up. So, now that we've got the G-Cloud CLI set up, we can now run the Google Workspace setup. So, we're just going to drop this command in here. So, firstly, it's saying it's found the G-Cloud CLI because we just installed that. Great. Now, we're going to do the authentication. So, I've got my account here set up. I'm going to hit enter. We're going to select the project that we want. So, I'm going to select self-driving company 3. Now, we're going to select what APIs we want to enable. I'm going to go with all because I've got a lockdown workspace here and we're just experimenting. And I'm going to hit return. So, it's enabling 22 APIs. So, we need to manually step through this to connect our account to the CLI. So, we're just going to copy this URL here. That takes us to the OT consent screen. If you can't find your way there, you can just go here, then API and services and OAT consent screen. So, we're going to click get started. Put in whatever name you want, your support email. Then we're going to make this external. Click next. And then we're going to put in whatever contact information you need. For now, you just put in your own email. That's fine. I agree the terms and services. And then click create. So next up, you need to create the OOTH client. So we can just find that again here if you can't find your way there. So now we need to create our OOTH client. So I'm just going to click on this. We select our application type. We're just going to drop in desktop app here. Leave that name as it is if you want. And then we're going to take our oath client here and save that for later. So if you haven't got a secret already, just make sure that you add it in there. So just click add secret. Again, it's here in clients client for desktop and then we can just paste this in here. So now we're just going to run GWS al login. And then it's going to give us all the different scopes. So there is a ton of scopes in here. I don't recommend starting with them all enabled. It's way too powerful. Let's just start with the core consumer support. So, I'm just going to enter confirm. It gives us this authentication URL here. So, we're just going to copy this and then paste it in to our browser. On the previous screen, I just picked whatever user and then I'm going to click continue. You can see here all the permissions that it's giving. Back over to our CLI and you see that everything looks like it succeeded. So now we've got it installed. We want to give it some extra powers and we're going to do that through skills. So go to skills.sh and if we type in if you type in Google workspace you're going to see all the various different skills that you can install. So next question is where do you install these skills? If if you're using OpenClaw just get your claw to install the skills. And of course you will have to have had GWS set up on whatever machine or VPS you're running OpenClaw. In my case, I've built my own AI operating system for my own company and that's where I'm going to be installing it. If you want to find out more about how you might build out AI operating systems, highly recommend checking out the course and community. I've got sections in there on clawed code and over the coming weeks, I'm going to be talking a lot more and giving a lot more workshops on AI operating systems. So, I've got my folder where I want to install my skills. That's where I want my agent to be able to use them. Skills. If you've never run before this, you're going to need to install it. So, just hit MPX skills. Hit return. The Google Workspace comes with a ton of skills. You click on this button here, and uh you'll find them all listed here. There's a ton of great stuff, including different helpers and personas. So, I'm just going to add them all at the one go. So, we're going to run this command here. So, just going to paste it in here, and it's going to install these. We're going to decide on what skills we want to install. If you just click A, it's going to install all of them. Might be overkilled for now, but let's just see how we go. Here's all the default ones it gets installed for. And then you just need a slightly different setup if you want uh anti-gravity and claw code. And then we're going to put it open claw here as well. Now, do we want it globally or in the project? I'm just going to go with the project for now. I don't need all of this globally. A ton of skills is just going to confuse my agent. Agent, I like to keep that nice and tidy. And I just install skills in the projects that need them. So, I'm going to hit return. So, now for the fun part. Let's just run Claude and let's try a few commands to see how this works. So, let's try this. Send an email to robsw switchdimension.com and ask him if he has got the project quote. >> Your agent has finished. >> Okay, it said it's sent an email. That was really quick. It's about two seconds. And then boom, there you go. It actually created and sent the email. So that's pretty cool. Going to say check for last two emails. Cool. So my agent saying good news, Rob got the quote and replied. He's suggesting to meet Friday at lunch. So I'm saying cool. Can you put that in my calendar and add him as a participant? You can also set the GWS Gmail watch skill to watch your emails. So if you want to run that kind of command on a useful basis, there now is a new loop command in clawed code. So you can set it to run at a regular basis, very much like what you can do in OpenClaw. If you want to build alongside me, if you want templates, code, architecture decisions, how to build apps with AI, how to masterclaw code, that's all in the switchdimension community at switchdimension.com. The link is in the description. I would love to know in the comments what kind of things you're building. Is it for your own business? Are you building apps, prototypes? What are you building? What are you planning to sell? Drop it in the comments. I'm going to cover the best ideas in upcoming videos.
