How we built a secure, private AI assistant that instantly answers employee questions by searching through thousands of PDF policies stored in Google Drive.
Visual representation of the RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipeline
Employees waste countless hours searching for HR policies, technical manuals, and SOPs buried in Google Drive folders. Managers answer the same questions repeatedly ("What's the travel policy?", "How do I request PTO?"), creating a massive productivity bottleneck.
We deployed a custom RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system that acts as a 24/7 knowledgeable coworker. It connects directly to your company's Google Drive and uses advanced vector search to find and summarize answers instantly.
No manual uploading required. The moment you drop a PDF into the monitored Google Drive folder, the system processes, embeds, and indexes it within seconds.
It understands meaning, not just keywords. Searching for "How do I take a break?" correctly retrieves documents about "PTO Policy" and "Vacation Request Procedures".
The AI is strictly grounded in *your* data. It won't make things up (hallucinate) and can even cite the specific document and page number where it found the information.
Senior staff no longer spend their day answering repetitive questions from junior employees.
New hires can independently learn company processes by simply asking the chat bot, reducing training friction.
Remote teams in different time zones get instant answers without waiting for HQ to wake up.
