Gmail

The Gmail integration gives the AI assistant in AI-Corporate read access to your Gmail mailbox. This lets you search, read, and summarize emails. The integration cannot send emails, create drafts, or modify messages.

Requirements

• Your administrator has enabled Google Workspace in the admin environment, via Tools → MCP → Suite shortcuts.
• Your organization uses a custom Google app.
• You are allowed to use integrations in your environment.
• You have a Google account with access to the mailbox you want to use, for example your work account.
• You choose an available AI model that can use tools. The integration is not limited to OpenAI.

Available functions

Function	Description

Usage examples

Searching emails

• "Search for emails about the project proposal from last week"
• "Which unread emails do I have from today?"
• "Find emails from clients with an attachment"

Reading emails

• "What does the latest email from management say?"
• "Summarize the email conversation about the quote"
• "Which agreements are mentioned in the latest email from the project team?"

Getting started with Gmail

1. Open your profile menu and go to Preferences.
2. Under Tool settings → Integrations, in Offered by your organization, turn on the switch for Gmail.
3. Sign in with your Google account and grant permission for read access to Gmail.
4. Start a chat and ask your question. Gmail is now available by default in your chats.

You can also click Gmail in the Tools block on the dashboard. If needed, you will sign in to Google and a chat with this integration will start immediately.

Privacy and security

The Gmail integration requests read-only access only:

• ✅ Search and read emails
• ❌ Do not send emails
• ❌ Do not create drafts
• ❌ Do not modify, mark as read, or delete emails

Access tokens are encrypted and stored server-side only. If you turn off the last Google integration in Preferences, the connection to your Google account is disconnected. You can also revoke access via Google Account Security.

Limitations

• For attachments, the AI only sees file names; attachment contents are not read.
• Long emails are shortened.
• If your Google connection has expired, Preferences shows the Reconnect button.

Business use cases

• Finding correspondence: Quickly find specific emails
• Summarizing: Have long email conversations summarized
• Preparation: List agreements and questions from earlier messages, for example for a client meeting or consultation

You can also use Gmail search operators in your questions:

subject:	subject:meeting	Emails with a word in the subject
