- Google has released “one CLI for all of Google Workspace”
- There is even a set of instructions specific to OpenClaw
- It’s “not an officially supported Google product…” for now
Google has released a Command Line Interface (CLI) to GitHub that effectively enables AI agents to connect more easily with Google Workspace apps like Gmail, Google Drive, and Docs/Sheets/Slides.
The change clearly recognizes the rise of personal AI assistants, like OpenClaw, which are able to act autonomously on the user’s behalf.
Google even included a specific set of instructions for integrating with OpenClaw, which has been gaining traction on social media in recent weeks.
Google opens Workspace to OpenClaw and other AI agents
The company describes the launch as “one CLI for all of Google Workspace – built for humans and AI agents.”
“Drive, Gmail, Calendar and every Workspace API,” Google added, promising “40+ agent skills included.”
Because the tool also supports MCP integrations (an open standard established by Claude-maker Anthropic), this means other apps like Claude Desktop can also access Workspace’s data and information.
While AI integrations were previously available through multiple APIs, the CLI definitely streamlines the process as we begin to see a shift in how humans and AI agents interact with apps and data.
There is one big catch though. Google says this is “not an officially supported Google product” so it should be used at the risk of the person who chooses to do so. Still, willingness to open up agent AI access to its own apps is a big step for Google, indicating a willingness to partner with third-party systems rather than keep users tightly locked into its own ecosystem.
As for OpenClaw, it “will live in a foundation as an open source project” and will also gain OpenAI support following OpenAI’s acquisition of OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger.
