Mail (Gmail)
- “Summarize my 5 unread emails from this week”
- “What did my manager’s last email say?”
- “Find the receipts I need for my expense report”
What integrations let Kura-chan do
Out of the box, Kura-chan can’t touch any of your personal data — it just chats. Once you connect a Google account, it can read your mail, calendar, and files, and use that to summarize, search, and answer questions about your stuff.
What you can ask, once connected
Section titled “What you can ask, once connected”With integrations in place, conversations like this start working:
Calendar
- “Read me tomorrow’s schedule”
- “Do I have anything with Tanaka-san this week?”
- “How many trips are on my calendar next month?”
Files (Drive)
- “Find last week’s meeting notes in my Minutes folder”
- “List the 3 PDFs I edited most recently”
- “Is there a spreadsheet called ‘Budget 2026’?”
What you cannot ask: anything that writes — “send”, “schedule”, “delete”. This is intentional. See What Kura-chan can access for why.
What each API unlocks
Section titled “What each API unlocks”| Service | Reads | Cannot do |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail | Inbox, sent, labeled mail (subject + body) | Send, draft, delete, change labels |
| Google Calendar | Event titles, times, attendees, locations, descriptions | Create / edit / delete events, respond to invites |
| Google Drive | File names, file content, doc/sheet bodies | Upload, edit, share, delete |
You don’t have to connect all three. Gmail only or Calendar only is fine. You can add or remove any of them at any time.
Where does the data go?
Section titled “Where does the data go?”The setup uses a “Bring Your Own credentials” model. There’s no shared Kura-chan OAuth app; you create the OAuth client yourself in Google Cloud, and Kura-chan running on your NAS or laptop uses it to call Google APIs directly.
Your Google account ──OAuth──▶ Kura-chan on your NAS (through Google, no third party in the middle)Mail, events, and files all move in a single hop: Google → your device. There’s no relay server. Details in the next page.
