BURSTThe command line is hot again. For some people, command lines were never not hot, of course, but it's becoming more common now in the age of AI. Google launched a Gemini command line tool last year, and now it has a new AI-centric command line option for cloud products. The new Google Workspace CLI bundles the company's existing cloud APIs into a package that makes it easy to integrate with a variety of AI tools, including OpenClaw. How do you know this setup won't blow up and delete all your data? That's the fun part—you don't.
There are some important caveats with the Workspace tool. While this new GitHub project is from Google, it's "not an officially supported Google product." So you're on your own if you choose to use it. The company notes that functionality may change dramatically as Google Workspace CLI continues to evolve, and that could break workflows you've created in the meantime.
For people who are interested in tinkering with AI automations and don't mind the inherent risks, Google Workspace CLI has a lot to offer even at this early stage. It includes the APIs for every Workspace product, including Gmail, Drive, and Calendar. It's designed for use by humans and AI agents, but like everything else Google does now, there's a clear emphasis on AI.
