Every Gemini surface reads only the Google account you signed into. Connect each Drive to Carly, add Carly to Gemini, and one question spans them all.
Perplexity's Drive connector is real and self-serve on Pro, and read-only by design. A second Google account is undocumented. How to hold both anyway.

Cowork holds one Slack workspace at a time. Add every workspace to Carly, connect Carly to Claude once, and one task reaches all of them by name.
Microsoft builds no Slack connector for Copilot, and partner ones need an AI administrator. Connect every workspace to Carly and route by name instead.
The Gemini app cannot reach Slack on any account type. Connect every workspace to Carly, add Carly to Gemini, and search or post across all of them.
Grok Bot does not install into Slack. Grok for Slack is a separate app, one install per workspace. Here is what actually spans workspaces.
Perplexity's Slack connector authorizes one workspace and is worded in the singular throughout. How to search several workspaces from one session.
Two of these edit the workbook in front of you. The rest read a copy and hand you a new file. Which is which, and what happens to macros.
ChatGPT can now move, rename, and delete Drive files. Only one assistant does it without being asked, and across more than one Google account.
Gemini now builds and edits whole spreadsheets from a sentence. Most of the rest read your sheet and hand you a separate file. The honest split.
Gmail, Calendar, and Drive are the easiest surfaces in AI to read and the hardest to act on. Which assistants write, and which hold a second Google account.
We checked nine assistants against a real Microsoft 365 tenant. What each can write, what needs an admin, and which ones survive a second tenant appearing.

One personal drive and one work drive is the request nobody serves cleanly. Which assistants read OneDrive, which write, and the one partial workaround.
ChatGPT writes shared calendars and not your own. Claude needs an admin. Which assistants really create and move Outlook events, and which just read.
Copilot is hard to beat inside one tenant. The moment a client tenant appears, or a document needs to trigger something, the ranking changes completely.
Most of these draft and stop. Which ones actually send from your Outlook address, what an admin has to approve first, and which watch the inbox.
Yes, and it does more than read. Claude finds, analyses, and saves new files to Drive. What it cannot touch is anything already in there.
Yes, through the Microsoft 365 connector. Reading works out of the box, writing needs two separate admin switches, and nothing fires on a SharePoint event.
Gmail now sends, replies and forwards. Outlook needs an admin first. And Cowork has no inbox, so nothing ever reaches it unprompted.
No. Claude reads your sheet and saves new files, but it cannot change one that already exists. What that rules out, and the two ways around it.
Two answers, because there are two products. The Outlook add-in drafts and never sends. The Microsoft 365 connector sends, once an admin allows it.
Yes, and it is the most native pairing in AI. Gemini summarizes your files and exports new ones. Editing what is already there is where it stops.
The Microsoft Graph version of recurring Outlook events is easy to get wrong. Here’s the exact recurrence shape, what endDate actually means, and working payloads you can copy.
Freestyle is a Y Combinator AI assistant for Gmail that drafts, schedules, and bulk-unsubscribes. What it does, what it does not, and what it costs.
Gemini reads and searches Gmail well. It does not draft, send, or delete through the Workspace connection, and nothing starts when mail arrives.
Codex has no first-party calendar connector, so multi-account access comes down to which MCP server you register. One server beats one per account.
ChatGPT Work offers two Drive setups and both hold one Google identity. The admin path will not take a gmail.com address at all. Here is the way around it.
Cowork holds one Google identity, and the write limit is new files versus existing ones rather than read versus write. Here is how to work across both.
A Notion authorization covers one workspace, and stacking MCP connections gives the run no way to tell them apart. Here is a setup that names each one.
Notion's own MCP server authorizes one workspace, and stacking entries leaves Codex unable to tell them apart. One named server fixes the routing.
One personal drive plus one work drive is genuinely possible, because they are separate connectors. Two work tenants is the wall. Here is how to cross it.
No Copilot setting holds two OneDrive accounts, and two work tenants reach neither product. Connect every Microsoft identity to Carly instead.
Codex reaches Outlook only through MCP, so two tenants is a config problem rather than a hard limit. One server addresses every calendar by address.
Many sites in one tenant is a configuration choice. Two tenants is a wall. What admin-managed sync covers, what it cannot, and how to work across both.
One Copilot licence covers one tenant, so a client site is unreachable no matter what you configure. Connect every Microsoft identity to Carly instead.
OpenAI documents the limit in one sentence: the Slack app connects to one workspace at a time. What that costs you, and how to reach the others in one run.
Codex's Slack app launches coding tasks, it does not read your channels. Two different multi-workspace questions hide behind that, with different answers.
OpenAI excludes connector data from training and keeps an indexed copy of your mail. The four risks worth weighing, and how to reduce each one.
Macros, custom forms and network shares are gone. Snooze, Sweep and undo send are new. The full picture, plus how long classic Outlook actually has.
Blocked connecting Outlook? Three steps: send your admin one link, they approve once, you connect. Copy-paste message and admin instructions included.
We checked 10 AI assistants against two or more Microsoft accounts. Which hold every tenant, which force a reconnect, and which bill you for the second login.

ChatGPT's Outlook Email and Calendar apps read, draft and send, and now reach shared mailboxes. The plan requirements, the admin gates, and the one gap left.
Microsoft Copilot connects to Gmail, Google Calendar, Contacts and Drive. What it can do with them is narrower than the word connector suggests.
The Gemini app is a Google-account product. Gemini Enterprise has a real Outlook connector that reads mail and sends it, and an admin has to build it.
Gemini finds, summarizes and prioritizes mail, and inbox cleanup is coming. What it still will not do is handle the inbox while you are not looking.
Three routes get a file in front of Gemini, and only two are reliable. What Google documents about attachments, images in Gmail, and the 25 MB ceiling.
Gemini searches Gmail two ways: AI Overviews in Gmail search, and the Gemini app with Workspace connected. What each finds, and where the search stops.
The source settings error, the toggle nobody finds, and the one-word prompt habit that fixes it. Seven causes of Gemini losing access to Gmail, in order.
AI Overviews, Help me write, Suggested Replies, Proofread, AI Inbox. What each one does, who gets it free, and why the side panel disappeared for some users.
Two different connections get confused for one. The exact toggles, the consent screen, and what Gemini can really do with Gmail once connected.

Many sites in one tenant are reachable. A second tenant is not. Here is where Claude's Microsoft 365 connector draws the line and how to cross it.
Work, personal, and team calendars in one assistant. Which tools see every calendar, which only sync busy blocks, and which cap you at one login.
We checked 11 AI assistants on two or more Gmail accounts. Carly is the only one that acts across all of them. Which hold, which switch, which bill you.
One person, two logins. Which AI assistants can see work and personal mail and calendars without dumping one identity into the other.
Gmail, Calendar, and Drive across two Google logins. Which AI tools hold more than one identity, and which replace the first when you add a second.
