OpenClaw + Google Workspace CLI: Build an AI Agent for Gmail, Docs, and Classroom

Stop just chatting with AI—start building an agent that actually works. In this tutorial, we integrate the powerful OpenClaw framework with the new Google Workspace CLI to create a fully autonomous office assistant. We move beyond simple text generation and show you how to give your AI agent the "hands" it needs to manage your professional life. What you’ll learn in this video: - How to set up a secure Google Cloud project for Workspace automation. - The "Local Gateway" method for safe OAuth authentication. - Installing and configuring the Google Workspace CLI on a remote Linux VM. - Giving your OpenClaw agent "Skills" to interact with Gmail, Drive, and Classroom. - A full live demo: Creating a Python Classroom, generating a GitHub intro document, and posting announcements—all via Telegram. ⚠️ Note: As mentioned in the video, the Google Workspace CLI is an open-source project and not an officially supported Google product. 📝 Get the Setup Commands!
