What is Gmail?
Gmail is a email & calendar tool. With OSP.net, your AI agent connects to it directly so it can act on your behalf instead of just answering questions about it.
What your OSP agent can do with Gmail
- List and read recent or unread mail
- Search the mailbox by sender, subject or text
- Send plain-text email on your behalf
How to connect Gmail
- Turn on 2-Step Verification for your Google account (app passwords require it). myaccount.google.com → 2-Step Verification
- Open the App passwords page, type a name like “OSP agent”, and click Create. Google shows a 16-letter password once — copy it (the spaces don't matter). myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
- If that page says app passwords aren't available: 2-Step Verification is off, or (on a work account) your admin has disabled them — Google's help page covers both. Google Help: Sign in with app passwords
- Paste your Gmail address and the app password here, then Connect. Nothing to enable in Gmail itself — IMAP access is on by default. Google Help: IMAP and Gmail
Security: An app password grants full access to that mailbox. Consider a dedicated Gmail account for your agent. You can revoke the app password any time from the same Google page — your account password never leaves Google.
