Google Apps Script

I’m new here, but just wanted to say the videos have been really useful!

Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time testing different ways to automate parts of my workflow, especially with Claude Code, Codex and Google Apps script. I’m starting to see pretty clearly where each one is strong and where each one falls short.

Just an observation from my short experience, for anything inside the Google ecosystem, I still think Google Apps Script is hard to beat. A reminder for anyone working at a company that runs on Google Workspace, Scripts is a really practical way to automate repetitive tasks in Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, etc. Another added benefit is that it's easy to share with coworkers on your team, and there’s a low barrier to entry since most people already have access to the tools.

For automations outside of Google apps script, especially things happening locally on my computer or across different tools, I’ve had better results using Claude Code and Codex.

I know this isn’t anything new, but it’s easy to forget how useful Google Apps Script can be if you’re already in a Google Workspace environment. For anyone trying to streamline daily processes at work, free up time for other projects, or just make things run more efficiently, it’s definitely worth playing around with.

Hope this can serve as a friendly reminder - especially for those working with co-workers that might not be as AI native,.
