Availability depends on provider, plan and permissions. Preview and pilot do not mean general availability.
Native OpenClaw plugin (Alpha)
Section titled “Native OpenClaw plugin (Alpha)”Pilot
Installable alpha package for OpenClaw 2026.10.4 under getridian on GitHub and ClawHub (alpha). Uses account-based Ridian MCP with a separate OAuth grant. Available tools depend on provider, resources and permissions. Anonymous HTTP mailbox creation and automatic email replies are separate workflows.
Calendar sync
Section titled “Calendar sync”Available
Google, Microsoft, CalDAV and ICS feed sources; writable calendars as destinations. One-way and two-way connections depend on the plan. ICS feeds are read-only. Between Google and Microsoft, series remain native; later changes and cancellations of individual occurrences follow the connection’s content policy. Provider limits and a maximum of 1,000 exceptions per series still apply.
Google and Microsoft in AI connectors
Section titled “Google and Microsoft in AI connectors”Available
Read events, find available times, create, update or delete standalone events without guests, change, move or delete single occurrences of your own series without guests, and rename entire series. Calendar and assistant permissions limit every request. Ridian is available as a Community Connector in the public Claude directory.
Alvin, the in-app agent
Section titled “Alvin, the in-app agent”Available
Enabled for all workspaces: personal chats, reading calendars and events, finding free times, reading Google Tasks/Microsoft To Do and personal Google/Microsoft contacts, searching Google Other Contacts and Workspace people, and listing enabled mail accounts. It creates events and tasks according to the selected execution mode, and updates and completes Google tasks with version checks. Alvin displays your permitted syncs and saved sync drafts in a read-only canvas with editing links. Creating one-way or two-way syncs, changing selection rules for one direction, and pausing or resuming the pair follow the selected execution mode. Sync permissions, calendar selection, plan and workspace policies limit these actions. Alvin updates, moves and deletes your existing standalone events and single occurrences of your own series without guests or meeting data in Google, Microsoft and CalDAV according to the selected execution mode, with fresh permission and version checks; the preview states “Only this occurrence”. On explicit request it renames an entire series or changes its description and location. It accepts, tentatively accepts or declines standalone invitations in Google and Microsoft without a response email to the organizer. Full event details are required. Use your calendar app for recurrence rules, series with guests and moving all-day events. Limits: editing Microsoft tasks, deleting tasks, changing contacts and sending email through Google/Microsoft are not yet connected to Alvin. Agent Mailboxes have separate permissions and support reading, drafts and explicitly requested sending. Ongoing conversation context survives permission changes; older sections are summarized using credits when needed. Up to 200 requests per chat. Personal mode selection per workspace: Ask before changes or Execute automatically within granted permissions, including mailbox actions and sending. New access starts with confirmation; existing access keeps its previous behavior until a mode is chosen. Changing mode invalidates pending proposals.
Personal default timezone for Alvin
Section titled “Personal default timezone for Alvin”Available
Set a timezone in your personal profile and confirm it as the first setup step; search the picker by city or timezone. Alvin uses it for requests without an explicit timezone; changes through Alvin require separate permissions and follow the selected execution mode. Existing appointments stay unchanged.
Agent Mailbox
Section titled “Agent Mailbox”Available
Addresses at ridianmail.com with receiving, sending, drafts, attachments, reply/forward and trash. With full access, the default, Alvin and MCP can use all your Agent Mailboxes; mailboxes and read/write/send rights can be restricted. On-request analysis of small images, PDFs/scans, text and XLSX cell values is available only in Alvin: at most 2 MB, two PDF pages and additional content limits. No Google/Microsoft inbox access, HTTP sending or automatic agent runs triggered by incoming mail. Free: one mailbox per person across workspaces; paid slots per person and workspace. At most 20 creations per person in rolling 24 hours across all clients and workspaces. Folder views, stars and new-message notices in the open app. MCP attachment download tickets require inbox:write and attachment read access. Private HTTP receiving access without sign-in: repeatable creation, messages, attachments, event polling and signed webhooks. Browser test mailbox with saved access and claim into a verified workspace while keeping its address and content. On claim, the owner chooses whether the existing HTTP access continues or ends, and can revoke it later in mailbox settings. Retained HTTP tokens stay limited to reads/events; sending and calendars require separate authorization. No automatic expiry. New random addresses use two words and four digits. Fetchable SKILL.md agent guide, Python/cURL entry points and Cursor MCP configuration with OAuth. The visible test page automatically creates or reuses saved receiving access. Installable Python package for Linux/macOS with a separate CLI command, recovery and explicit event acknowledgement on PyPI (ridian-mailbox, MIT), with public source at github.com/getridian/ridian-mailbox-python. The landing page shows senders and subjects for the three newest messages without opening content; test instructions and access management use dialogs. Python and Node.js/TypeScript provide secure default paths for saved access. TypeScript SDK for Node.js 22+ on Linux/macOS on npm as @getridian/mailbox (alpha, MIT), with public source at github.com/getridian/ridian-mailbox-typescript.
