Keep your AI knowledge base updated automatically from Google Drive

Any file you add or edit in a watched Google Drive folder is automatically read and indexed so your AI assistant can search it.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Your team stores documents in Google Drive but your AI chatbot has no idea they exist unless someone manually uploads and re-indexes them. Keeping a knowledge base in sync by hand means it is always a little out of date.

Who it fits

A company running an internal AI assistant or chatbot that needs to stay current with the latest documents.

How it works

  1. A new or edited file appears in your watched Google Drive folder
  2. The system removes any outdated version of that file from the index
  3. It downloads the file and extracts the text
  4. AI breaks the text into chunks and converts them into searchable data
  5. The searchable version is saved so your AI assistant can find it instantly
What you get

Documents searchable the moment you save them

Any file you add or edit in your Drive folder becomes instantly searchable for your AI assistant to use.

What you get

An always up-to-date searchable knowledge base for your AI assistant.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an AI service for processing text, and a Supabase database.

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.
