I was working on a chatbot for a client, and the project had stalled because the client had no safe environment for experimentation. With a looming deadline. I spun up a lightweight chatbot inside my Annielytics Google Workspace, connecting Google Cloud Functions to the OpenAI API and orchestrating everything with Google Apps Script. The result was a secure, self-contained sandbox where we could prototype prompts, refine system instructions, and log outputs in real time without risking production data. Within 48 hours we validated the key use cases, unblocked the schedule, and handed the client a repeatable framework they can now extend in their own environment.
