# Connected services (Google)

IsonAI can connect to your Google account — **Google Calendar, Gmail, and Google Drive** — so chat can answer with your personal context: today's schedule, a summary of recent email, or finding a file in Drive. The connection is entirely optional and requires your explicit consent.

## Connecting and disconnecting

- **Connecting**: open Settings in chat → the connected-services section → connect Google. The official Google sign-in window opens; you review the requested permissions and approve them on Google's side.
- **Disconnecting**: from the same place, disconnect at any time. On disconnect, IsonAI **revokes the token with Google** and **deletes the stored credentials** from IsonAI's systems. You can also revoke access from Google's side at [myaccount.google.com/permissions](https://myaccount.google.com/permissions).
- Deleting your IsonAI account also deletes connected-service authorizations.

## Currently active capabilities

The capabilities actually active in chat today are **read-only**:

| Service | What works today |
|---|---|
| Google Calendar | Reading your agenda to answer schedule questions ("what do I have on tomorrow?") |
| Gmail | Reading a list of recent email to summarize ("summarize my important email today") |
| Google Drive | Searching and listing files ("find proposal.docx in my drive") |

**IsonAI currently performs no write actions** through this connection — it does not send email, does not create or change calendar events, and does not modify Drive files. If write actions are introduced later, they will be documented here and in the [release notes](/en/release-notes/) before they become active.

A transparency note: Google's consent dialog may currently show **broader permission scopes** than the active read capabilities above (including permissions that would allow write actions). The capabilities IsonAI actually executes are the ones listed in this table.

## Data flow — what is sent where

- When your question needs Google context, IsonAI calls Google's APIs on your behalf and receives the relevant slices of data (event lists, email snippets, file lists).
- That data is used **at that moment** to compose the answer — IsonAI does not copy your Calendar/Gmail/Drive contents into separate storage.
- **However**: connector information that appears inside an answer is saved as part of the conversation, like any other message content, and is subject to the same [privacy policy](/en/privacy/).
- Toward Google, standard API requests with your token are sent — including search terms derived from your request (for example the file name in "find proposal.docx in my drive"). Beyond that, the contents of your conversations are not sent to Google.

## Token storage

After you approve, Google issues access tokens that are stored on IsonAI's servers (EPITHRE. infrastructure in Indonesia) so the connection does not have to be repeated every time. Tokens are deleted when you disconnect or delete your account, and are revoked with Google on disconnect.

## Consent boundaries

- Connection only happens through the official Google sign-in flow that you approve yourself.
- IsonAI does not read connected services "quietly" for background personalization — data is fetched when your question needs it.
- No outward actions (send/change/delete) are performed on your behalf while write capabilities remain inactive.

## Other connectors

Third-party connectors beyond Google (e.g. generic MCP-based connector schemes) are **not yet available** in public IsonAI. See [Feature availability](/en/feature-availability/).

## Limits

- Connecting and disconnecting is done via the web — the iOS app does not yet have its own connection page. Once connected, Google-context answers apply from any device, including the iOS app.
- Answer quality depends on what can be read from your Google account (e.g. your own labels and folders).
