I encourage anyone who is curious to try to build an AI to get an approved client ID / secret from Google to access end user's gmail accounts. Most tier-one apps, such as Google, Zoom, Shopify, etc require a formal application process, third-party security reviews, and much more.

I think my point went over the head here, so to speak.

The fact is “AI” isn’t building these integrations because they aren’t capable. They’re capable of generating some sandbox code, if anything, but full scale integration, that updates itself as APIs change etc?

It’s simply not happening, because they don’t actually reason, because they lack actual intelligence

I tried. Wasn't even doing that much AI stuff. I spent 9 months building a product that is dead on arrival because they refuse to approve it.

I moved on to other things.
