Overview

The command line is hot again. While it has always been popular among certain developers, its relevance is growing in the age of AI. Google launched a Gemini command‑line tool last year, and now it offers a new AI‑centric command‑line option for cloud products: the Google Workspace CLI. This CLI bundles Google’s existing cloud APIs into a single package, making it easy to integrate with a variety of AI tools, including OpenClaw.

Caveats

• The project is hosted on GitHub (googleworkspace/cli) and is not an officially supported Google product. Users are on their own when adopting it.
• Functionality may change dramatically as the Workspace CLI evolves, which could break existing workflows.

Features

• Access to APIs for every Workspace product, including Gmail, Drive, and Calendar.
• Designed for use by both humans and AI agents, with a strong emphasis on AI‑driven automation.
• Supports structured JSON outputs.
• Includes more than 40 agent skills, as noted by Google Cloud director Addy Osmani (tweet).
• Enables agents to create command‑line inputs and directly parse JSON outputs.
• Integrated capabilities allow agents to:
  • Load and create Drive files
  • Send emails
  • Create and edit Calendar appointments
  • Send Chat messages
  • Perform many other Workspace actions
