Runs on AWS for now!

So you do have access to all the data. It's not really a great look if you're lying about what you have access to, and this is a technical audience, it's not like we don't know how agents work.

Sad state of current launch HNs where OP don't even know they are talking to hackers, not people that get easily impressed.

[brazukadev → hgaddipa001]

So you have access to the users Gmail, not "the agent".

[hgaddipa001 → brazukadev]

Hmm ig yeah I can be more granular.

Yeah we store our user credentials on our side and manage them. Along with refreshing tokens and so forth

[soniczentropy → hgaddipa001]

This is horrifying. Everyone should be horrified.

[stavros → soniczentropy]

I think they mean OAuth credentials (all these APIs use OAuth unless you're doing something terribly wrong).

[hgaddipa001 → stavros]

Yep we're using Oauth, so it's easy for a user to disconnect.
