Yes, the email Gsuite part exactly. Not sure about the chatgpt connectors part. But yes a new workspace for the agent that it and I have access to. Ideally it would be more seamless as Gsuite is a bit of a disjointed experience. We use it now only because we have to and all our history is in there but not married to it.
Yeah, great question. I would imagine the service would have it's own web app and one for cell phone that I can monitor. That you can access to see the agents inbox, agents calendar, agents tasks, etc... I guess you could say it would be a common workspace for me and my agent. But I know in my circle of smallbiz owners, that some just want to forward emails to an agent that it can start drafting replies and things that they approve rather than give it free reign to their historical inbox. You have to understand that for many of us, email is not just communication but a knowledge record and giving an agent free reign and acess to that is a bit scary for many of us. The preferred method would be to forwad emails old and new to have it work on or keep track of etc... but not jump in both feet and give the keys to an agent to just injest all my clients information as they may not even want that. I think there will be a huge privacy matter that will come up likely in law where Clients will have the right to opt out from their service providers using AI on their info... We all know how the Europeans are with stuff like this.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I actually looked into this when the whole openclaw or moltonclaw whatever it was came out and I could not find a cheap enough dev. I tried looking into the international dev route but my CPA stopped me immediately due to the new IRS section 174 international developers rule where I would need to ammortize international dev salary or payments over 15 years. Making it look like false revenue. When you are a business owner, you want to focus on your product and how to grow it. Having to deal with a developer and then maintaining a custom solution and then future upgrades and changes, is a head ache, I dont want let alone another peice of the biz I have to deal with. Most biz owners are like this. I got enough things to deal with running a biz. I am willing to pay $1000 a month. It's just opex. ANd I really dont need a lot of customization from what it seems is already available from just watching emails, drafting replies, scheduling, sending contracts, management contracts into their proper folder.
Thanks appreciate that but that is what I am saying is I dont want to monkey around with anything. I dont want to connect imaps or google things. I just want to sign up with a service that gives me everhting I need without having to configure anything. Email, calendar, docs, out of the box. Nothing to connect. just sign up, take my credit card, and go. No history to import, no other services I have to connect.
Seriousy, no one has anything available. Hiring a part time admin is a couple thousand a month. I would pay half that for an AI agent to do emailing and scheduling and contract rounds.
Thanks, this looks genuinely cool but way too technical for me. I am not trying to code or build anything. I just need an automated AI agent that can access siloed email and calendar oh and probably documents for client agreements to send back and forth. Nothing I have to custamize of or tweak to get it to work.
Yeah, I have been searching. I know a couple people running openclaw on some spare machines but I find them constantly having to tinker with it. It seems not all that reliable when it comes to admin work. I have small business and not enough revenue to do the admin work. I am outdoors a lot for my biz so I don't have the ability to go through my emails book appointments, etc... I thought someone would have an online solution for this already. Set up an email and calendar and an agent is already built in. Nothing seems to be really like that. All the agents people rave about or the better part of SV is just personal stuff like dinner reservations or getting tickets... I dont need that bs, I need an agent to read business emails, escalate what needs my attention, perform scheduling ping pongs for me.
