Jeremy Claudes Around
Summary
Jeremy and Jim discuss how one of them discovered a TikTok video highlighting Claude's integration with Google services. This led them down a "rabbit hole" of trying to implement the integration, only to realize they already had access to Gemini through their Google Workspace subscription. They share their experience of enabling Gemini across their Workspace apps and how it effectively serves as an AI assistant for various productivity tasks, including email organization, without requiring additional third-party plugins.Takeaways
- A TikTok video about Claude's Google integration sparked interest in AI productivity tools
- The hosts realized they already had access to Gemini through their Google Workspace subscription
- Gemini is not enabled by default in Google Workspace and requires administrator activation
- Once enabled, Gemini appears in the top right corner of all Google Workspace apps
- Gemini can help organize emails without needing expensive third-party plugins ($20-40/month)
- Using existing tools effectively can be more valuable than chasing "shiny" new integrations
- Small business owners who are their own Workspace administrators can easily enable these features
- The integration works "fantastically" across the entire Google Workspace ecosystem
- Sometimes the best solution is to "use the tools you've got" rather than creating complex custom integrations
