The problem it solves

Your team and customers keep asking the same questions that are already answered somewhere in your files, but nobody wants to dig through folders to find them. New hires and support staff waste time hunting for answers instead of getting them instantly.

Who it fits

A fit for customer support teams or any business that wants to turn its internal documents into a self-serve help desk.

How it works

  1. When a file is added or updated in your Google Drive folder, it's automatically read and indexed
  2. Documents are broken into chunks and stored so the AI can search them
  3. A question comes in from your chat or support tool
  4. AI searches your indexed documents and writes an answer based only on them
  5. The answer is sent back to whoever asked, with conversation history remembered
What you get

Questions your documents can answer without a person

Your Google Drive files become a chatbot that answers questions using only your own documents, remembering the conversation as it goes.

What you get

A chat-based answer sourced directly from your own documents, not the open internet.

What you need

A Google Drive 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.
