The problem it solves

Building a knowledge base for a chatbot or search tool usually means manually copying and formatting every document. When you add new files often, keeping that knowledge base current becomes a full time job on its own.

Who it fits

Businesses building an AI chatbot or internal search tool that needs to reference their own documents.

How it works

  1. A new file is added to Google Drive
  2. The file's content is extracted regardless of format
  3. The text is broken into smaller, organized pieces
  4. Each piece is turned into AI-searchable data and stored
  5. Your chatbot or search tool can now find answers inside the document
What you get

Documents ready for your AI tools to search

New files you upload to Google Drive become instantly searchable inside your AI chatbot or search tool.

What you get

A continuously updated knowledge base your AI chatbot or search tool can draw answers from.

What you need

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

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.
