The problem it solves

You and your team waste time hunting through folders for the right file, then skimming pages to find the one detail you need. Important information gets buried, and new hires have no easy way to find answers on their own.

Who it fits

A team that relies on a shared library of documents, contracts, or reports and needs faster answers from them.

How it works

  1. New or updated files in Google Drive are detected automatically
  2. The system reads PDFs, spreadsheets, and Google Docs and breaks them into searchable chunks
  3. Each chunk is turned into a searchable index and stored in a database
  4. When someone asks a question in the chat, the system finds the most relevant passages
  5. An AI assistant answers using only that content
What you get

Answers pulled straight from your own files

You get instant answers to questions about your contracts, reports, and files, drawn directly from your team's own document library.

What you get

A chat assistant that answers questions using your actual Google Drive documents, with sources drawn from the real files.

What you need

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