v2.7.1: Live Gmail Reception Comes to Public Workspaces, Plus Touch-Friendly Resizing

If you run your AI employee on a public Geta.Team workspace, here is the change you will feel first: a teammate sends an email, and it lands in your chat the moment it arrives. No refresh, no polling delay, no waiting for a sync cycle to catch up. v2.7.1 brings live Gmail reception to public workspaces, makes every resizable panel work by touch, and quietly kills a duplicated reminder badge that had been bothering people.

Live Gmail, now for everyone

Real-time Gmail push has been available for a while, but only in one specific setup. If your workspace ran on its own Google credentials (private mode), incoming mail streamed in instantly. If you were on the shared Geta.Team sign-in (public mode), you were out of luck. Mail still arrived, but it came through slower fallback checks rather than an instant push.

The reason was structural, not a shortcut we skipped. Google's live push depends on a Pub/Sub topic, and that topic can only be created by the owner of the app. A public workspace has no way to set one up for itself. So the capability that private users took for granted was simply unreachable for everyone on the shared login.

v2.7.1 closes that gap with a central push relay. It sits between Google and your workspace, receives the push notifications on behalf of the shared sign-in, and routes each one to the right place. The result is the part that matters to you: an email hits your teammate's inbox, and your AI employee sees it right then. Not a minute later. Right then.

Three details worth knowing:

• There is no setup. You do not configure anything. If you are on a public workspace, real-time reception is simply on.
• It renews itself. Google expires every push subscription after seven days. The relay renews them automatically in the background, so you never hit a silent cutoff where mail quietly stops flowing.
• Existing connections need one nudge. Gmail connections you already had will pick this up the next time they reconnect. Anything you connect fresh gets it out of the box.

Office 365 users already had live reception, and nothing there changes. This release is specifically about bringing Gmail up to the same standard for the public path.

Why the security design matters here

A central relay that handles mail notifications for many workspaces is exactly the kind of component you should be suspicious of. A shared pipe is a tempting target, and the honest question is: what stops one workspace from seeing another's mail, or a stranger from injecting fake notifications?

Two locks answer that. First, the relay only accepts notifications that are genuinely from Google, verified by a token on every incoming message. A forged ping from somewhere else gets dropped. Second, each workspace can register only its own mailboxes, authenticated with its instance key. There is no path where workspace A can subscribe to workspace B's inbox, because the registration itself is bound to the workspace's own identity.

This is the trust calibration point we keep coming back to. Convenience that arrives without a clear boundary is not convenience, it is a liability you have not noticed yet. Live mail is only worth having if the wall around it is real.

Resize with a finger

Every resizable area in the interface now responds to touch and stylus, not just a mouse. That covers the side panel, the chat input box, and the Nova input. Grab an edge with your finger, drag, and it moves the way you would expect.

On a desktop with a mouse, nothing looks different. But this is deliberate groundwork. The mobile app is coming, and an interface built entirely around click-and-drag does not survive contact with a touchscreen. Making resizing touch-native now means the panels you rely on will behave correctly the day you open them on a phone, rather than becoming frustrating dead zones you cannot adjust. Small change today, load-bearing later.

One badge, once

A smaller fix, but a satisfying one: the "Memory Reminder" badge could occasionally render twice, one copy with its glow and one without. It now shows a single time, as it always should have. If you spotted the ghost twin and wondered whether something was broken, it was cosmetic, and it is gone.

The pattern underneath

None of these three items is a headline feature on its own. Taken together, they describe how a product matures. The Gmail change removes an inequality between two classes of user that never should have existed. The touch work pays down a debt before it becomes a wall in front of the mobile launch. The badge fix respects the idea that small visual glitches erode trust just as surely as big ones.

That is the unglamorous half of building an AI workforce you can actually depend on. The demos get the attention, but reliability is what earns a place in your day. An AI employee that reads your mail the instant it arrives, on any workspace, with a security boundary you can explain out loud, is worth more than one that dazzles once and drifts later.

If you are running Geta.Team on a public workspace, reconnect your Gmail and watch how fast the next message shows up. That speed is the whole point.
