Claude Opus 4.6 couldn't figure out how to use it to write to a Google Sheet (something to do with escaping the !?) and fell back to calling the sheets API directly with gcloud auth.
You should use Gemini obviously
I get better experience if I just copy-paste the sheet data into Gemini web. And IIRC copy-paste is just space "delimited" by default.
God, getting this set up is frustrating. I've spent 45 minutes trying to get this to work, just following their defaults the whole way through. Multiple errors and issues along the way, now I'm on `gws auth login`, and trying to pick the oAuth scopes. I go ahead and trust their defaults and select `recommended`, only to get a warning that this is too many scopes and may error out (then why is this the recommended set…

Seems weird to require another tool (gcloud) to set it up, but it does look to be tightly integrated with google cloud.
