Keep your searchable knowledge base updated automatically

Whenever a document changes in Google Drive, it's automatically reprocessed and added to your searchable knowledge base.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Every time someone edits a policy doc or SOP, your internal knowledge base falls a little further out of date. Manually re-uploading and re-indexing documents after every change eats up time your support or docs team doesn't have.

Who it fits

Knowledge managers, documentation teams, or support teams who need internal docs to stay current for search.

How it works

  1. A document is added or updated in Google Drive
  2. The automation downloads the changed file
  3. It's parsed and converted into clean, structured text
  4. The text is broken into chunks and turned into AI embeddings
  5. The updated content is stored in your searchable knowledge base
What you get

Search results that never point to an outdated file

Your knowledge base updates itself the moment a document changes in Google Drive, so search results always reflect the latest version.

What you get

An up-to-date knowledge base ready for AI or team search, with no manual re-uploading.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a document-parsing service, and an Azure OpenAI 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.
