Google Workspace CLI

The Google Workspace CLI, also known as gws, is a command-line tool that helps users and AI agents interact with Google Workspace services. It provides a single way to access features from Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Docs, Chat, and Admin settings. This tool is still being developed and is not an official Google product.

Benefits

Gws makes it easier to use Google Workspace by offering simple commands instead of complex code. For people, it provides help messages and a way to see what a command will do before it runs. It also handles tasks like showing many results automatically. For AI agents, gws gives information in a structured format that AI can easily understand. This allows AI to manage Google Workspace tasks without needing special programming.

Use Cases

This tool can be used to manage files in Google Drive, send emails through Gmail, check your Calendar, or work with documents in Google Docs and Sheets. It can also be used for administrative tasks in Google Workspace. Because it provides structured output, it's useful for AI programs that need to interact with these services. It can also be used in automated systems or for quick tasks that would normally require many steps.
