Both in chat GPT and claude these

connector launches an update like Google

mail or Google Drive they're a mess. So

just had a claude announcement that hey

the Google mail connector got smarter

and better. It can send emails now and

Google Drive can do way more now. They

can manage files whatever that means.

So, what I want to do today is skip all

of this announcement language and just

tell you exactly what they can do and

what kind of workflows you could be

doing every day with these tools because

that's what matters. How you're actually

putting it to work and if it can do

novel things that are useful to you. So,

with that being said, let's have a look

at the Google mail and Google Drive

connectors in both chat and claude. And

I think you might be surprised by how

capable some of these are. Sending

emails, creating documents, editing

documents. But spoiler alert, Chat GPT

is actually way more capable when it

comes to all of this. And this video

will show you the exact boundaries plus

some recommended workflows that I

believe a lot of people will be adapting

into their everyday work, which is

amazing. All right, super quick recap on

what happened. Well, Claude had this

released that hey, their connectors are

so much better now. and chat GPTO over

the past 2 months has been shipping like

almost weekly updates to their own

version of these connectors which they

call plugins. Okay, so it's different

language, the same thing. You basically

connect Google Drive or Google Docs and

now your Chat GBT or Claude can interact

directly with Gmail and do things like

draft emails and now even send them. But

as I said, it's a bit confusing because

they're at different levels of

capabilities. So, let me just start with

examples that are going to be convenient

to you hopefully. And I think the very

first one is something that you should

consider doing if you're not doing this

already, which is email management with

the help of AI. Hey, and before we

begin, one thing that I should add is

that these connectors and what I'm

showing off today is on the paid plans.

You need to pay $20 a month to get

access to this, but I believe that what

I'll be showing you here is actually

well worth it, especially if you spend a

lot of time on admin tasks like emails

and working with documents. Okay, so

baseline I basically have these things

connected up. I'm not going to be

explaining how because you just log in.

You can go here to plus connectors and

then manage connectors and here under

add you would browse connectors and look

for Gmail and G drive. Then you just log

in. Same thing in chat. You just go to

settings plugins and then either they're

in the list here or below under browse

plugins. Now that we've established the

context so we're all on the same page,

let's get to my favorite part which is

doing things. So, let's start with this

cheeky little prompt that I would

recommend to you. Review up to 15 unread

emails from the last 48 hours. Group

each into reply today, review later, or

no action. Then, draft a concise reply

to the most urgent reply today email

using the full thread, but ask before

sending. And as long as your connector

is enabled to Gmail, this is probably

the simplest way you could start working

with AI plus email. Going to do the same

thing in chat GBT. But basically we're

going to put them into free buckets and

tell it that hey anything that needs to

be replied to today already draft the

reply. Now here we start talking about

the updates. So it could draft things

before already. That's why a lot of

people are confused by this. But now it

can also send. So if I'm happy with the

draft I could just say yeah send it and

the email is actually going to go out. I

could also say hey for everything that's

reply today just write replies and send

them. Wouldn't recommend that though.

You could do it now. So there's some

great recommendations. I would agree

with these. And there's a draft to the

most urgent email, which I would

actually agree. Now, let's review Chat

Chip's result. Oh, it was actually way

more critical on the evaluation. Look at

that. Only two things that need to be

replied to today. There's some test

emails we just sent to review later and

a bunch of no action stuff. So, from

these two lists, me personally, just

first try, I would agree with the chat

evaluation here more. These are the two

that actually need replies today,

whereas there's a bunch of noise here.

So, here's a note on what's new. What

they added additionally to sending is

also you can reply to emails. You can

forward emails and then as mentioned you

can also send emails. These are all new

in Claude Chat GPD could already do

this. Additionally, and this is a really

important one regarding email. If you're

in Claude and there's an email with an

attachment, it is not going to be able

to see inside of the attachment. To me,

that's crazy important. We send PDFs

back and forth all the time via email.

Chat GBT on the other hand can totally

do that. It sees inside of the

attachments. Now, if this is not working

for you right away, I would recommend

switching to chat GPT work. That's where

these features really shine and stuff

like email triage is really going to

work well. So, for this use case of

working with your inbox, I would

definitely recommend chat GPT work right

now because of the claw Gmail

limitations. Those attachments are

mission critical to me. All the other

features both have now, which is nice to

know. And if you don't work with a lot

of attachments, then both are great, I

suppose. One more thing that I want to

add on this email note is that if you

have multiple emails, it's a problem

with both of these. I personally have

what five or six emails and you can only

connect one here. A workaround that some

people do is they just forward all the

emails from, I don't know, email number

2 3 4 5 to one inbox and then they

connect that inbox, but it's kind of

messy. And then also, if you want to

reply in the other email, you can't

really do it. So yeah, that's a big

limitation right now. When it comes to

working with one email, chat GBT is just

better now. And hey, if you enjoy

practical workflows like this, you would

love the AI advantage club. We have a

brand new onboarding that I'm so excited

about. I've been working on this for

months with the team where basically

when you come in, you get a personalized

learning plan for a month that shows you

how to get time back with AI through a

precise road map. When you come in, we

give you a immediate quick win and a

tool that you can start using dayto-day

and then you build your fluency over

time all on the mission to get time back

with AI. It's personalized just for you

based on over 100,000 students going

through this journey already. So, if

you're ready to start saving time with

AI, join the AI Advantage Club. It's

just $1. I'm the architect of the entire

learning experience there. All the

courses are for me. We're adding new

courses every month. You would love it.

Again, $1 to try it. First link in the

description below. All right, back to

the video. So, let's look at the next

big one, which is creating and working

with Google documents. And this is where

they were pretty unclear to say the

least in their announcement. So, we went

ahead and tested actually all the

different functionalities relating to

Google Docs. And let me just show you.

So, let's start with the basics, which

is just creating a Google Doc. I'm going

to pick a random topic, something that

relates to our first use case. And I'm

going to send this to both chat and

Claude. Now, it asks for permissions.

And at this point it would be probably

wise to talk about permissions in both

these. You can go to your settings down

here and then inside of connectors you

can manage how much access these have.

So if I go on Gmail for example, you can

see all the permissions in here. You can

see that it does not need to ask me when

it comes to things like [music] reading

because everything is on this setting

right here. When it comes to writing or

deleting, it always asks me for

permission. If I wanted to switch that

off, I could flip all of these to well

this mode right here and it would just

go for it. You can see for sending email

messages, I somehow gave it the

permission already. And I can change

that back to needs approval instead of

always allow. And there you go. Those

are all the capabilities and how you

control them too. But now back to our

use case, which is this email triage

plan. You can see it created a new

Google doc. I'll just open that link.

Let's have a look. And there it is. It

created a beautiful two-page Google Doc.

Good starting point for whatever you

might be doing. Oh, Chat GBD wanted

permission. So I'll give it that. And

there it is. Now what I really like

about chat is that they also updated the

interface and you see the Google doc

right inside of here. It's not a

separate tab as here with claude but

it's just right inside. So I think that

is one advantage full interface in here.

But then furthermore this is the most

important thing that I learned even with

these updates. If I see something like

make it more detailed add two pages just

because this is going to demo well in

both of these you're going to quickly

see the limitation of claude. it cannot

edit these documents. What Claude will

do here is one delete this doc which is

a new capability. Great it can do that

now and two create a second version of

the document whereas chat can go in here

and actually make changes. So see claude

is trying to use create file. Sure

because it has to do that and there it

is. It's not even done yet but you can

already see the same document was

expanded to six pages now inside of

chatbt. Claude deleted the first version

and now there's a brand new Google doc.

This one is in trash and the new one,

yeah, is expanded. But if you want to

use this as a layer where humans are

working on it or maybe you're making

changes yourself, the ability to edit

existing documents in chat is huge in my

opinion. Now, on top of that, I want to

show you a few quick tricks that I

stumbled upon when looking at all of

this. One is that you can now share

these documents from here, too. Share

this doc with Antonio that we just

talked to via email. I can make mistakes

in there, but Antonio is going to get

this file who's helping me record this

right here. Boom. There it is. It can

make those changes now, too. That's a

part of the update. So, you can change

sharing, you can delete files, you can

move them. But when it comes to editing,

still limited to chat GPT. And this

interface in here is just wonderful

right now. Now, few additional tips

inside of chat GPT. You can since I

think a week now also run deep

researches that read documents. Okay, so

for anybody not familiar, this is one of

the most powerful CHBD features where it

goes out and looks at hundreds of links

and synthesizes all of that into one

research document for you. It's probably

the easiest agentic use case and so so

powerful if you're looking at new

topics, comparing options, or you just

want to get a lot of intelligence on a

certain topic. Well, now you could

activate deep research here in chat by

saying at deep research and then you can

say use the document we have on AI email

triage and research how people are doing

this across the internet. And now it's

going to use the connector to take the

document that we just created and run a

deep research. This might take like 10

15 minutes but it's going to be really

comprehensive. And this was a thing that

hasn't been available before. Deep

Research did not work with these docs.

Okay, so that's it when it comes to

these connectors. A few more fun things

when it comes to Chat GB that came out

throughout the last week. It has a

specialty feature for restaurant

reservations. Now, it triggers when you

just ask for reservations and there's a

brand new feature in the background that

makes that possible. I believe the

change is the integration of this new

interface where I could yeah select a

time for its recommendation. I would

actually agree with this. I've been here

multiple times. This is one of the best,

if not the best, here. And yeah, it

could be like 7:45 and boom, if it's

connected up to my information, I can

book from right within here. You can see

this is new. Additionally, there's a new

feature where you can let it quiz you.

That's also hidden. You just have to ask

for a quiz and it will do that. There it

is. It's this interface right here. And

then final note, if you go into your

library, you can see your Google Drive

within here now. So, you could access

files like this. You don't even need to

go into Google Drive anymore. You just

go into Docs like so. And then start

chatting with them to use all the

features. So they really blended chat

GPT and Google Drive which our company

runs on and many others do too. If you

use it, I think this is huge. The Gmail

stuff is useful, but most people have

multiple emails. That would be the

gamechanging feature. It's probably

something right now where you can kind

of get used to how working with AI and

email feels like inside of Chat GBT. And

in the future with multi email support,

it's just going to be a game changer for

most people, I believe. But yeah, this

is how it begins. Feature by feature,

week by week, we're getting there. I

hope you enjoyed this week's news video

where I showed you what changed and what

in my opinion matters. If you have any

thoughts on this or ways to use this

yourself in a unique way, leave a

comment below. I really want to see. I

genuinely read the comments every week

and it's just good to see what you guys

are up to. And with that being said, my

name is Eigor Pagani and I hope you have

a wonderful week

about

here

It up.
