Email and calendar are two of the most-requested grounding sources, and wiring them up usually means custom API clients and token plumbing. Two new context providers, `GmailContextProvider` and `CalendarContextProvider`, remove that work: both follow Agno's existing provider patterns and expose each source as natural-language query tools, so an agent reads mail and schedule context through the same consistent interface as every other source, with no bespoke retrieval layer to maintain. Alongside them, `GDriveContextProvider` now supports OAuth in addition to service-account auth, so an agent can connect to a user's own Drive without a service account.
