So your agents can get into your Google account only with your permission, you create your own Google app: a free Google Cloud project, in your name. It takes about 5 minutes and you do it only once: after that it works for all the Google plugins and all your agents.
Your Google app, step 1 of 7

​
Where you do it

  • When you add your first Google plugin, the installer starts here.
  • Or beforehand, from Settings → Google → Create your Google app.
Do it on a computer: Google’s console is awkward on a phone. If you started on your phone, copy the link and open it on your computer: you pick up where you left off.
The installer guides you step by step: each step opens the right Google page, tells you what to tap and shows you what it looks like when you’re done. If you get stuck, on a computer you have Ask your agent, which opens its chat on the side.

​
The steps

1

Your Google account

Type the account you’re going to connect. If it’s your company’s or your domain’s, mark it as a Google Workspace account (a couple of steps change).
2

Create a project

In Google Cloud, a project called minai. Copy its ID and paste it in minai.
3

Set up the permissions screen

It’s what Google shows you when you connect. Name minai, your email, audience External (or Internal on Workspace).
4

Fill in the app's details

You paste three minai links (home, privacy and terms) and the min-ai.ar domain. Don’t upload a logo: Google would ask to verify the app.
5

Publish the app (Gmail accounts)

Tap Publish app. Google says it should be verified: there’s no need, it’s yours and only you use it. Publishing it keeps the connection from dropping after 7 days. On Workspace, you skip this step.
6

Create the client

A client of type Web application with the address minai gives you. Before closing, tap Download JSON: Google won’t show you the secret again afterwards.
7

Upload the JSON

Tap Upload the JSON. minai tests it with Google and stores it: “Your Google app is ready.”

​
Then, for each Google plugin

With your app ready, each plugin only needs two things, inside its installer:
  1. Turn on its API in your project (a direct link and Enable). For example, the Gmail API for Gmail; Docs needs the Docs one and the Drive one.
  2. Connect your account: you choose Read and act or Read only and tap Connect with Google.
Google will show you “Google hasn’t verified this app”. That’s expected: the app is yours (your email shows as the developer). Tap Advanced → Go to min-ai.ar (unsafe). If the permission has a checkbox, check it (it comes unchecked) and tap Continue.

​
Who uses it

In Settings → Google you see your app (with its project and when you created it) and which agents use your Google account, with which account and which permission. From there you can also Replace it.
