What is the Joshu Google Photos connection?

Joshu connects to Google Photos through Google OAuth and accesses the albums, media items, and photo metadata you authorize. It locates specific photography from team events, organizes visual assets into project albums, retrieves high-resolution images for decks, and connects visual media back to your marketing materials. You work with an assistant who has a desk, a computer, and persistent memory, not a photo gallery to scroll through endlessly for single event shots.

Is my photo data secure?

Yes. Every Joshu runs in its own isolated, sandboxed cloud computer. Media files, metadata, and album links Joshu reads stay in that private sandbox. Joshu only accesses albums you authorize, and your data is never used to train public AI models.

Will Joshu delete or share Google Photos without asking?

Joshu searches and stages albums by default. Deleting photos from your library, creating public albums, or sharing media links follows approval rules you configure, ensuring personal memories and brand imagery remain protected.

What can Joshu access in Google Photos?

Only the Google Photos albums and media items authorized during Google OAuth sign-in. Joshu cannot view personal media outside your approved permission scope.

What is the difference between Google Photos search and Joshu?

Google Photos search matches image tags inside the Google Photos app. Joshu is an assistant with long-term memory across Google Photos, Google Slides, your email, and task boards. It knows which client presentation requires specific project photos and fetches the right assets automatically.

Do I need a paid plan?

Joshu is $95 a month with a simple flat rate. That includes your sandboxed cloud computer, a dedicated US phone number, an @joshu.me email address, eight-level cortex memory, and all tool connectors, including Google Photos. There are no surprise usage tiers or seat markups.

It finds event photography by date and metadata, organizes team photos into shared albums, and extracts high-resolution image assets for client slide decks and social posts.

What you do

Connect your Google account using OAuth and select which albums or photo scopes Joshu may access. Decide whether album creations and share links require confirmation on your desk before distribution.

Why it sticks

Searching through massive photo libraries to find that one specific conference picture or product shot wastes time. Joshu searches your photo library directly and stages the right visual files right where you need them.
