About this class
An AI that cannot see your files and tools has to guess.A secure connector (MCP) lets it read them.Connect Notion, Google Drive, Slack and your CRM, check exactly what each connection can and cannot see, and learn when a plain automation is still the better answer.
What you'll learn
- 01Explain what a secure connector (MCP) is and why it beats a one-off integration
- 02Connect AI to Notion, Google Drive, Slack and your CRM over MCP
- 03Control what each connection is allowed to read and write
- 04Know when MCP is overkill and a simple automation wins
- 05Build a personal dashboard from multiple connected sources
Choose your role
Example: what a Finance learner does in class
- Connect AI to the shared drive that holds month-end files and see which folders it can read and which it cannot.
- Decide whether the weekly cash position needs a live connection or whether a scheduled export does the job.
Choose your role above to see examples for your own work.
Try it yourself
Run a sample sync across four connected sources (calendar, email, CRM and files) and read the summary it produces. The data is made up.
