# theGerb Workspace Automation
Welcome to the homepage for theGerb Workspace Automation, a private developer integration connecting local agentic AI environments (Antigravity MCP) and home automation systems with Google Workspace APIs.
## Application Purpose & Functionality
theGerb Workspace Automation provides secure, local, read-only bridges to Google Workspace services (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Keep). It enables personal developer assistants running locally on private workstations to retrieve contextual information upon explicit user command.
### How Google User Data Is Used
The application requests minimal read-only permissions to fulfill user-prompted queries:
- **Google Drive (`drive.readonly`, `documents.readonly`, `spreadsheets.readonly`)**: Search and read personal reference documents and spreadsheets.
- **Google Calendar (`calendar.readonly`)**: Inspect upcoming events and schedule availability.
- **Gmail (`gmail.readonly`)**: Search and read emails for triage, summaries, and notifications.
- **Google Keep (`keep.readonly`)**: Retrieve personal checklists and notes.
Access to Google user data is strictly on-demand, triggered only when the user explicitly prompts the assistant.
