Pasting material into chat works, but it means the brain only knows what you
remembered to hand it. Connecting an account closes that gap.

Connections live under **Settings, Integrations**.

## Google

Calendar and Drive. The brain can see what meetings happened and read the
documents attached to the work.

Scopes are requested narrowly rather than as a blanket grant, so it gets what it
needs for the feature and nothing more.

## GitHub

Repositories, issues, and pull requests. Useful when the record of a decision
lives in a PR discussion rather than a document.

## Telegram

A brain can have its own Telegram bot, so you can talk to it from your phone
without opening the app. Messages go to the same brain and land in the same
history as anything you say on the web.

One bot per brain. See **Settings, Telegram** to set it up.

## Two things worth knowing

**Credentials never reach the brain.** The connection is held on our side and
brokered per request. The brain gets the data, not your tokens, so a brain that
misbehaves cannot walk off with your Google account.

**A connection is workspace-wide.** Everyone who can use the brain can use what
you connected to it. Connect accounts you are comfortable sharing with everyone
in that workspace, and see [give a group a copy](/docs/harness/share-a-copy) if a
group needs its own boundary.

## Disconnecting

Same page, disconnect the account. The brain keeps what it already learned. It
just stops being able to read new material from that source.

If you want the brain to forget what it learned as well, say so in chat.
