Google Chat

Use this Caplet when an agent needs Google Chat context, space membership context, message history, or a deliberate outgoing Chat message.

First Workflow

  1. Start by finding the relevant space, direct message, or group chat.
  2. Read recent message history and membership context before summarizing or drafting a reply.
  3. Download media only when the attachment is necessary for the user's task.
  4. Send messages or add reactions only when the target space, thread, recipients, and message content are explicit.

Operate Carefully

  • Chat messages can contain sensitive internal discussion. Keep reads narrow and summarize only what the user needs.
  • Outgoing Chat messages are visible to real people. Draft first when intent or audience is ambiguous.
  • This Caplet does not expose message update/delete, space administration, custom emoji, availability, import, or organization-wide admin operations.
  • Prefer Gmail or a task system when the work is email-centric or durable task tracking rather than Chat collaboration.
