Connected Apps

Connect outside accounts to Scholarly so the AI can work with files and information you already have. Today you can connect Google Workspace, which links your Google Drive and Google Calendar so AI Chat can search them when it helps answer a question.

Connecting Google Workspace

1. Open Settings and go to Connected Apps.
2. Next to Google Workspace, click Connect.
3. Sign in with Google and approve the access Scholarly asks for.
4. You are returned to Settings, where Drive and Calendar both show as Enabled.

Drive and Calendar are linked together — connecting Google Workspace once turns on both. If you only grant some of the requested permissions, Scholarly tells you which capability could not be enabled instead of pretending it is connected.

What Gets Connected

• Google Drive -- Chat can look up your Drive files by name and topic and read their contents to ground its answers, so you can ask things like "find my biology lecture notes in Drive and quiz me on chapter 4."
• Google Calendar -- Chat can check your upcoming events, so you can ask "what's on my calendar this week?" or "build me a study plan around my classes."

The AI only reaches into Drive or Calendar when it is relevant to what you asked. Connecting an account does not change anything about your existing files or events.

Managing Connected Accounts

In Settings → Connected Apps you can:

• See linked accounts -- Each connected Google account is listed with its email and which capabilities are active.
• Make Default -- If you connect more than one Google account, mark one as the default that Chat uses first.
• Disconnect -- Remove an account at any time. Disconnecting takes effect immediately and Chat stops accessing that account.
• Reconnect -- If an account shows Needs reconnect (for example, after Google's authorization expires), click Reconnect and sign in again to restore Drive and Calendar.

Troubleshooting

• The Connect button seems stuck. If the request fails before Google opens, the button resets — try again. If it keeps happening, refresh the page.
• "Authorization denied or failed." This appears when you cancel the Google screen or Google rejects the request. Click Connect again and approve all requested access.
• Drive or Calendar shows "Not connected" after linking. You likely unchecked one of the permissions on the Google consent screen. Click Connect again and approve everything.
• An account shows "Needs reconnect." Google access expired or was revoked. Use the Reconnect button on that account.

Privacy

Scholarly only uses connected accounts to answer your requests in Chat. You can disconnect at any time, and you can revoke Scholarly's access directly from your Google account's security settings as well. For more on how data is handled, see the Privacy Policy.
