Get started — Google
You use Google / Gmail / Workspace, so you’ll talk to Brain in Google Chat. Nothing new to install. Follow these four steps.
Step 1 — Open the chat
Section titled “Step 1 — Open the chat”In Google Chat, start a direct message with:
nitrox.brain@nitroxconsulting.com
Say “hello”. Brain reacts with an emoji to confirm it heard you, then replies within a few seconds.
Step 2 — Connect Google (one link)
Section titled “Step 2 — Connect Google (one link)”Type:
Connect Google
Brain replies with a [Connect Google] link. Click it → you land on Google’s own consent screen, which lists the exact permissions Brain is asking for. Approve, and you’re sent back with a confirmation.
That single connect covers Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Contacts — you don’t connect each one separately.
Step 3 — (Optional) Connect your other tools
Section titled “Step 3 — (Optional) Connect your other tools”Anyone can also connect, by asking in the same way:
Connect HubSpot— contacts, deals, companies (opens HubSpot’s consent screen)Connect Trello— boards and cards (opens Trello’s own approval page — a slightly different screen from Google’s)Connect Oura— your ring’s sleep / readiness / activity data
Each one is independent — connect only what you need, skip the rest.
Step 4 — Ask for something real
Section titled “Step 4 — Ask for something real”Pick whatever fits your day:
Résume mes mails non lus des 2 derniers jours que je n’ai pas traités.
Crée une feuille de présence pour la formation de mardi dans mon Drive.
Quels rendez-vous cette semaine ? Y a-t-il un conflit de déplacement ?
Prépare une note d’une page et dépose-la dans mon Drive.
Brain reads from your connected accounts, does the work, and replies — usually within 5–30 seconds, with a link to anything it created.
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- No slash commands in Google Chat — just write in plain English (or French). Commands like
/skillsonly exist on Slack. - Disconnect anytime — Brain never holds your password. Revoke from Google at myaccount.google.com/permissions → NitroxBrain → Remove access. (Trello: from your Trello account settings; HubSpot: portal Settings → Connected apps.)
- Need help? Just ask Brain “aide” / “help”, or see Troubleshooting.
