Turn your Google Drive documents into an AI research assistant

Documents added to Google Drive are automatically processed and indexed so your team can ask questions and get precise answers.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Important documents pile up across PDFs, spreadsheets, and Google Docs, and finding a specific fact means opening file after file and skimming. Research teams, support staff, and compliance reviewers all lose time hunting for information that already exists somewhere in your files.

Who it fits

Businesses, research teams, support teams, and compliance professionals who need fast, accurate answers from a large document library.

How it works

  1. A document is uploaded to your Google Drive
  2. The system extracts the text, whether it is a PDF, spreadsheet, or Google Doc
  3. AI generates a title and summary and breaks the content into smart chunks
  4. The chunks are converted into embeddings and stored in a Supabase vector database
  5. Someone asks a question in the chat and receives an answer grounded in your documents
What you get

Answers pulled straight from your own document library

Anyone on your team can ask a question and get a precise answer pulled directly from your company's documents.

What you get

A searchable AI chat assistant covering your entire document library, updated automatically.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Supabase account, and an 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.
