Give the AI all my businesses' inboxes at once

Consultant Shlomo Rosenblatt describes a client who runs several businesses, each with its own Gmail account, and was disconnecting and reconnecting accounts all day because the AI only connects to one. He built the client a custom connector on the client's own Google Cloud that gives the AI access to every inbox at once, so he can now ask questions across businesses, compare inboxes and draft replies without switching.

How it works

  1. Identify the gap: native connector supports a single Gmail account
  2. Build a custom connector hosted on the client's own Google Cloud so mail never passes through the consultant's systems
  3. Connect all of the client's business accounts
  4. Client asks the AI about any business, compares across inboxes and drafts replies in one place

Why it’s worth knowing

The fix for a one-inbox limit was a connector on the client's own cloud — his email never touches the builder's systems.
