A rule you can change
Your contacts are never sent to an AI.
Start with your own address book
It reads your contacts and shows you what it found. Nothing changes until you say so.
Google will show an “unverified app” notice

Continue to proceed, without waiting too long
or the sign-in expires. We only request access to your Contacts.
Accessed with your own Google account. Never shared, never sold, and never used to train any model.
