It's called Workspace.
All the Workspace tools that I'm already...
heavily invested in, including Google Drive and Gmail and Calendar, all of those things I use in Google Workspace.
And so I want to maintain Gemini as a fallback to any time I might run into, as Claude is wont to do, a limit, right?
So it says, okay, you've timed out, you've reached the limit, and now you have to wait four or five hours until you can start up again.
Well, I can just bounce over to Gemini and start working again.
Okay, before we go, I just want to share this because Jennifer's asked a question here.
She says, I've asked this before.
This, by which I think she means Claude Cowork.
This only works on files on your desktop, but if you use only Google Workspace and files in the cloud, it can't do the same things, read, write, et cetera.
And Gareth said, correct, Jennifer.
It's correct, but there's a workaround, which is that Cowork can use the Cloud MCP Chrome extension
to go into and the Google Connector.
And it can, as my scheduled task does, it can generate emails, it can edit emails, it can do all kinds of things in Google Drive.
So I think it's not limited to just having to put a file on your desktop in order to have co-work, which is this sort of local access to your file system and CLI.
So it can execute code also on your machine.
It also has, in my instance anyway, it has connectors to Google Drive and it can take actions in the drive, including moving things around to reorganize them.
Nate Jones said in one of his podcasts recently, he said that
Claude Cowork had gone in and reorganized hundreds of files in his Google Drive.
So I think if that's what your question really was getting to, Jennifer, I think that's the answer.
