The problem it solves

Your team's knowledge is scattered across documents in Google Drive, and finding the right answer means digging through files one at a time. New hires and busy staff waste time re-asking questions that are already answered somewhere in your files.

Who it fits

Teams and businesses that want quick answers pulled from their own documents instead of searching manually.

How it works

  1. The automation reads and processes the files in your Google Drive
  2. It breaks documents into searchable chunks and stores them for fast lookup
  3. When someone asks a question in Telegram, it searches your documents for the most relevant information
  4. AI writes a clear answer based on what it found, and sends it back in the chat
What you get

Answers found without searching your files

Ask a question in Telegram and get an answer pulled directly from your own Google Drive documents.

What you get

A direct, accurate answer to your question, sourced from your own documents, delivered in Telegram.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an OpenAI API key, and a vector database account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
