Google has added new Gemini‑driven artificial‑intelligence tools to its core Workspace suite, including Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. The features let users generate full drafts, pull information from email, files, and the web, and search with natural language. In testing, the assistant quickly assembled an itinerary by scanning the writer's inbox and online sources, but the resulting prose was described as bland and corporate‑sounding. While the tools show promise for internal communications and marketing tasks, the author notes they are less suited for personal or creative writing and advises treating Gemini as a research assistant rather than a search engine.

Google has introduced a command-line interface that consolidates access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides and all Workspace APIs. The tool, described as “one CLI for all of Google Workspace,” includes a specific guide for integrating with the AI assistant OpenClaw. While the CLI bundles more than 40 agent skills and supports open‑standard MCP integrations, Google notes it is “not an officially supported Google product,” meaning users adopt it at their own risk. The move signals Google’s willingness to accommodate third‑party AI agents while keeping its core services largely under its own ecosystem. Leer más

Anthropic has opened its Claude AI assistant to Chrome users through a browser extension available to Claude Pro, Team, and Enterprise subscribers. The extension lets Claude see and interact with live webpages, schedule meetings, organize Google Drive files, and even record custom workflows that the AI can repeat on demand.

Anthropic advises against using the automated features for sensitive activities like banking, underscoring ongoing privacy considerations as AI agents become more integrated into everyday web use.
