Conversation Summary
user: A new session was started via /new or /reset. Say hi briefly (1-2 sentences) and ask what the user wants to do next. If the runtime model differs from default_model in the system prompt, mention the default model in the greeting. Do not mention internal steps, files, tools, or reasoning. [message_id: 2d162e93-7547-4004-9763-be2a9d73dacd] assistant: Hi snake — I’m Viper. What do you want to do next? user: can you create a new gmail account for yourself [message_id: e44e28ab-dfd9-4a2a-acd1-f609c34660f7] assistant: I can’t directly create a Gmail account myself (I can’t complete sign-up flows, solve phone/SMS verification, or accept Google’s terms on my own).
If you want, I can walk you through creating one for “Viper” and help pick a good username + recovery setup. Tell me:
- what you want the address to look like (e.g., viper.ai…, viper.assistant…, something else)
- whether you want it tied to your phone number or a separate one
- your preference for account name/birthday (can be minimal, but needs to be valid) user: ok if i create one for you are you able to then send email to me from your email [message_id: bde819eb-669e-496f-a9f3-c95ec54beded] assistant: Yes—once you create it and we connect it to OpenClaw, I can send you emails from that Gmail account.
Two important caveats:
- I can’t log into Gmail unless you provide a way for OpenClaw to authenticate (ideally an OAuth/app-password style setup rather than sharing your main password).
- If Google prompts for 2FA/SMS during setup or later, you’ll need to complete that step.
If you tell me how you’re running OpenClaw (where it’s hosted) and what email-sending method you prefer (Gmail OAuth vs SMTP), I’ll guide you through the safest setup. user: how abt how do i give you access to my calendar [message_id: 8d224411-d541-4b1c-a684-097ffeaabc6e] assistant: Depends what you mean by “access” (view only vs create/edit events) and which calendar you use. Most people mean Google Calendar, so here are the clean options:
Option A (best, simplest): Share your Google Calendar with “Viper’s” Google account
If you create a dedicated Google account for me (e.g., viper.assistant@gmail.com), you can share a calendar to that account without giving me your login.
- In Google Calendar (web) → left sidebar My calendars → hover your calendar → ⋮ Settings and sharing
- Share with specific people → Add people
- Enter the new email address you created for me
- Choose permission:
- See only free/busy (very limited)
- See all event details (read-only, usually what you want)
- Make changes to events (I can create/edit)
- Click Send
- You’ll need to accept the invite while signed into that “Viper” account.
This gives access without handing over your personal Google password.
Option B (read-only, easy): Share a private iCal link
Good if you only want me to read the calendar.
- Google Calendar → Settings and sharing
- Integrate calendar → Secret address in iCal format
- Share that link with me (treat it like a password—anyone with it can view).
Option C (full automation): Connect via Google OAuth
This is the “proper” integration for an app/agent to read/write calendars, but it requires setting up an OAuth client and connecting it inside your OpenClaw environment.
Two quick questions so I can tell you the best path and exact steps:
- Is your calendar Google Calendar?
- Do you want me to only read it, or create/edit events too? user: lets do C, read only [message_id: d745a1f4-2ad4-49c7-bcb4-af15ba9aad38] assistant: Option C (Google OAuth, read-only) is doable, but I need to flag something first: this OpenClaw workspace doesn’t currently have a built-in Google Calendar connector, so “OAuth connect” won’t work until we add an integration (a small service/skill that does the OAuth flow, stores a refresh token, and calls the Calendar API).
You have two paths:
Path 1 (fastest today): do read-only without OAuth (iCal link)
If “read-only” is the goal, the quickest/cleanest is Google Calendar → secret iCal link (Option B). I can then fetch and summarize upcoming events. This is effectively read-only.
Path 2 (what you asked): build OAuth read-only integration
If you want true OAuth (scoped access, revocable, no shared links), I can help you set it up and implement the connector. High-level steps:
- Google Cloud Console
- Create a project
- Enable Google Calendar API
- Configure OAuth consent screen (External/Internal)
- Create OAuth credentials
- Create an OAuth Client ID (Web application)
- Add an authorized redirect URI (this depends on where OpenClaw can receive the callback)
- Run an OAuth “connect” flow
- You log in, grant read-only scope (
…/auth/calendar.readonly) - We store the resulting refresh token securely on the machine
- You log in, grant read-only scope (
- OpenClaw reads calendar
- The integration uses the refresh token to fetch events and then I can summarize/respond.
What I need from you to proceed
- Are you running OpenClaw on a machine that can host a small local web callback (e.g.,
http://localhost:PORT/callback), or do we need a cloud callback URL? - Is your Google Workspace account personal Gmail or Workspace (company)? (Consent screen options differ.)
- Do you want access to one calendar or all calendars in your account?
If you answer those 3, I’ll give you the exact OAuth setup (redirect URI, scopes) and we can implement the connector. If you’d rather be up and running immediately, I’ll walk you through the iCal-link approach. user: i'm running openclaw on EC2. can you write that down so that you don't keep asking me [message_id: e4a4ff34-daa7-4de2-8d69-946bad251b52] assistant: Done — I noted that you’re running OpenClaw on an EC2 instance, so I’ll use that as the default context going forward.
