Google

When you connect a Google account, the assistant can use your Google services when you ask. For example, it can read your calendar, change a Google Doc, or send an email for you.

This page tells you how to connect an account, how to control what the assistant can do, and how to disconnect the account and delete your Google data from Telosnex.

Connect a Google account​

  1. Open AI Controls.
  2. In Tools, find Google.
  3. Tap Add Account.
  4. Read the text about Google data. Then tap Continue. If you tap Cancel, nothing changes.
  5. On the Google screen, select your account. At this step, Telosnex asks only for your name and email address.

Turn on a Google service​

You turn on each Google service separately. Telosnex asks Google only for the permissions of that service.

  1. In Tools > Google, tap the button for the service, for example Turn on Calendar.
  2. Read the summary of what the assistant can then do. Then tap Continue.
  3. On the Google screen, allow the permission.

Two permissions have their own buttons: Enable Contacts edits and Enable Other contacts.

Control what the assistant can do​

Each tool has a mode. Tap a tool to change its mode.

  • Off: the assistant cannot use the tool.
  • Ask: the app stops before the tool runs. It shows the tool and its inputs. You approve or deny that one call.
  • Auto: the tool runs without a stop.

Google tools that write, send, share, or delete start in Ask. For more information, see Tools and safety.

To stop the assistant from using an account for some time, tap the account chip. Tap it again to use the account again. This does not disconnect the account.

Where your Google data goes​

  • When the assistant uses a Google tool, the result goes into the conversation.
  • The app sends the conversation to the AI model that you picked, so that the model can answer.
  • If you use your own API key, the app sends the conversation directly to that AI provider. If not, the app sends it through a Telosnex relay server. The relay does not store or log the conversation.
  • Conversations are stored on your device. If you turn on sync, the app encrypts each conversation on your device before upload. Telosnex servers store only the encrypted copy.
  • Telosnex stores your Google access permission (the refresh token) encrypted on its server. The app never receives it.
  • Telosnex does not sell your Google data. It does not use your Google data for ads. It does not use your Google data to train AI models.

Disconnect a Google account​

  1. Open AI Controls > Tools > Google.
  2. Tap × on the account chip.
  3. Tap Disconnect.

Telosnex then asks Google to remove its access to the account, and deletes its stored tokens for the account. The Google tools for that account are removed from the app.

You can also remove the access of Telosnex at Google. Go to Third-party apps and services in your Google account, select Telosnex, and remove its access.

Delete your Google data from Telosnex​

  • Tool results in a conversation: delete the conversation. The app deletes it from your device. If the conversation is synced, the server deletes the encrypted copy within two weeks.
  • Your Google tokens: disconnect the account (see above).
  • Everything: open the menu, then Account, and tap Delete Account. Telosnex asks Google to remove its access, then deletes your tokens, your synced conversations, and your account.
