DAY 4🔗

Connect Your Life

Gmail, Calendar, Search, Browser — from talking to doing

From "Can Talk" to "Can Do"

Today is the turning point — we let your assistant interact with the real world.


Four Core Skills

SkillCapabilityScenario
GmailRead, search, summarize"Important emails today?"
Google CalendarView, create, modify"Meetings tomorrow?"
Web SearchSearch the internet"What is new in React 19?"
BrowserBrowse pages, extract content"Check this webpage"

Connect Gmail & Calendar

  1. Create project at Google Cloud Console
  2. Enable Gmail API and Google Calendar API
  3. Create OAuth credentials, download credentials.json
  4. Install: clawdhub install gog (includes Gmail + Calendar + Drive)
  5. Authorize your Google account

The assistant does not just list emails — it judges priority and flags what needs your attention. Calendar can even detect conflicts.


Connect Search

openclaw configure --section web

Enter your Brave Search API Key. The assistant reads, summarizes, and gives judgment — not just raw results.


Connect Browser

Built-in Playwright-based browser skill: visit URLs, screenshot, extract content, interact.


Security Reminders

  • API Keys: never commit to Git, use .env
  • Token files: chmod 600 token.json
  • Only grant permissions the assistant actually needs
  • Write behavioral boundaries in SOUL.md
  • Periodically run: openclaw security audit
