Data Privacy Warning
Always exercise caution when connecting personal data to independent MCP tools. Third parties may be able to view your prompts and related data. Ensure you are comfortable with the level of data sharing involved.
Advantages of MCP Integration
Unlike standard chat, MCP integration allows the LLM to perform direct queries into software (SaaS) like Gmail, turning the AI into a personal assistant that understands the actual context of your work.

How to Manage Your Emails and Schedule via Chat

- Wait for Genspark to process the data using the Gmail tool to list important emails.
- Ask about your meeting schedule (e.g., 'What is my most important meeting next week?').
- Genspark will analyze your Calendar and provide a summary of critical meetings.
- Use this information to plan your day or ask the AI to summarize the context of a specific meeting.
