Google Chat
beta
Bring a self-hosted AI agent into Google Chat without leaving Workspace. openclawOS pairs via the Chat API and routes per-space.
Google Chat is half-remembered, half-loved, and very much present inside every Workspace tenant. openclawOS pairs cleanly via the Chat API so Pi can answer DMs, get @-mentioned in spaces, or be invited to specific rooms.
Setup
- Create a Chat app in Google Cloud Console. The CLI gives you the exact OAuth scopes.
- Publish internally to your Workspace org (an admin click).
- Drop the service account JSON into the openclawOS Control UI.
- Add Pi to a space or DM it directly.
Why this matters
Most Workspace orgs have a moratorium on “another SaaS that sees our data”. openclawOS lets the AI live inside your network and only talk out to your chosen LLM. The data plane never touches a third-party vendor.
Common questions
Yes for the initial app install. The bot requires Workspace publication scope (internal-only is fine).
Run Google Chat through your own Pi.
Install openclawOS, pair this channel, message your agent. The whole loop is under five minutes.
