Demo 58: Productivity Integrations

Overview

VibeCody is not just a coding assistant — it integrates directly with the tools you use every day: email (Gmail/Outlook), calendars (Google/Outlook), task management (Todoist), knowledge bases (Notion), project tracking (Jira), and smart home control (Home Assistant). This demo shows how to connect all six integrations and use them from the terminal alongside your development workflow.

Time to complete: 10–20 minutes

Prerequisites

VibeCLI installed (vibecli --version)
At least one account to connect: Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Todoist, Notion, Jira, or Home Assistant
API keys / tokens for the services you want to connect (details below)

Step 1: Configure Integrations

All integrations are configured in ~/.vibecli/config.toml. Add only the sections for services you use.

# Email — Gmail OAuth2 token
[email]
provider     = "gmail"
access_token = "ya29.xxxx"

# Calendar — Google Calendar OAuth2 token
[calendar]
provider     = "google"
access_token = "ya29.xxxx"

# Home Assistant
[home_assistant]
url   = "http://homeassistant.local:8123"
token = "eyJ0..."

# Jira
[jira]
url   = "https://yourorg.atlassian.net"
email = "you@yourorg.com"
token = "ATATT3xxx"

# Notion + Todoist (top-level keys)
notion_api_key = "secret_xxxx"
todoist_api_key = "xxxx"

Alternatively, set environment variables instead of config file entries:

export GMAIL_ACCESS_TOKEN="ya29.xxxx"
export GOOGLE_CALENDAR_TOKEN="ya29.xxxx"
export HA_URL="http://homeassistant.local:8123"
export HA_TOKEN="eyJ0..."
export JIRA_URL="https://yourorg.atlassian.net"
export JIRA_EMAIL="you@yourorg.com"
export JIRA_API_TOKEN="ATATT3xxx"
export NOTION_API_KEY="secret_xxxx"
export TODOIST_API_KEY="xxxx"

Step 2: Morning Briefing in 30 Seconds

Open a VibeCLI REPL session and run the morning briefing sequence:

Step 3: Email Triage

vibecli> /email triage

 🤖 AI Triage Results (14 messages):
  🔴 URGENT (2):
    • alice@company.com: "Deploy plan for v2.1" — needs your approval before 11am
    • ops@company.com:   "Production alert: p99 latency spike" — requires investigation

  🟡 ACTION NEEDED (5):
    • PR #892 review requested — can review after standup
    • 3 Jira assignment notifications — already in your Jira queue

  🟢 FYI / ARCHIVE (7):
    • GitHub notifications (merged PRs, CI results)
    • Newsletter: "This Week in Rust"

  Suggested: archive 7 FYI messages? [y/N] y
  ✓ Archived 7 messages

Step 4: Creating and Updating Jira Tickets from the Terminal

While investigating the production latency spike:

vibecli> /jira create PROJ "p99 latency spike in login endpoint — 2026-04-04" \
         "Observed in prod monitoring. p99 went from 80ms to 840ms at 08:15 UTC. \
          Affects /api/auth/login. Need to profile DB queries."

 ✓ Created PROJ-235 (Task)
   URL: https://yourorg.atlassian.net/browse/PROJ-235

vibecli> /jira transition PROJ-235 "In Progress"
 ✓ PROJ-235 moved to In Progress

vibecli> /jira comment PROJ-235 "Found root cause: missing index on users.last_login_at. \
         Adding migration now."
 ✓ Comment added

Step 5: Smart Home During Focus Time

Before a deep work session, set the right environment:

vibecli> /ha scene focus
 ✓ Activated scene: focus
   • Office lights: warm white, 60% brightness
   • Thermostat: 70°F
   • Do Not Disturb: enabled

vibecli> /ha status
 🏠 Home Status
   Lights:     office (on, 60%), kitchen (off), bedroom (off)
   Climate:    70.0°F (target: 70°F) — cooling
   Doors:      front (locked), back (locked)
   Security:   armed (home mode)

Step 6: Cross-Tool Workflows

Log meeting notes to Notion automatically

vibecli> /notion search "Engineering standup notes"
 Found: "Engineering Standups 2026" (page-id: abc123)

vibecli> /notion append abc123 \
         "2026-04-04: Discussed latency spike (PROJ-235). Alice to review auth PR today."
 ✓ Appended to Engineering Standups 2026

End-of-day task completion

vibecli> /todo close 1234567
 ✓ Completed: "PROJ-234: investigate slow login endpoint"

vibecli> /ha scene evening
 ✓ Activated scene: evening
   • All lights: warm white, 80% brightness
   • Thermostat: 72°F

Skill Files

Each integration has a dedicated skill file with setup guides and usage patterns:

skills/email-automation.md — Gmail & Outlook
skills/calendar-management.md — Google Calendar & Outlook Calendar
skills/home-assistant.md — Home Assistant smart home
skills/notion.md — Notion workspace
skills/todoist.md — Todoist task management
skills/jira.md — Jira issue tracking

What’s Next

MCP exposure: All six integrations are exposed as MCP tools, so Claude Desktop and other MCP clients can use your email, calendar, and tasks directly.
Agent workflows: Use VibeCLI’s agent loop to build cross-tool automations — e.g. “when a Jira ticket is assigned, add it to Todoist and send a Slack confirmation”.
Voice control: Pair with the voice interface (Demo 55) to control smart home and manage tasks hands-free.
