The problem it solves

Your team wastes time digging through shared drives and folders to find the right document or answer. Important information gets buried, and new hires or busy staff struggle to find what they need quickly.

Who it fits

Teams with a growing library of internal documents who need fast, accurate answers without searching manually.

How it works

  1. New or updated files in Google Drive are detected automatically
  2. Each document's content is read and broken into searchable pieces
  3. The pieces are stored in a searchable database
  4. When someone asks a question in chat, the system finds the most relevant document content
  5. An AI-generated answer, based only on your documents, is sent back to the person asking
What you get

Answers pulled straight from your own files

You get instant answers to your questions pulled directly from your company's own documents in Google Drive.

What you get

A chat assistant that answers questions using only your company's own documents.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Supabase account for storage, and a self-hosted AI model.

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.
