## Connectors
web, Gmail, Google Cloud
## What happened
Harish's quants spun up named bots on a shared Google Cloud computer, each bot owning one research vertical, and handed off work to each other overnight, resulting in a synthesized brief landing in Gmail.
## Constraints
bots must be named, research verticals must be assigned
Would run again: yes
