How It Works
The workflow is triggered when a new Google Doc is created or updated. The automation first retrieves the document's content using Google Drive API, then passes the text through OpenAI's language model to generate a comprehensive summary. The AI-generated summary is then automatically logged into a predefined Google Sheets spreadsheet, creating a structured, easily searchable knowledge base. Each summary includes key points, main themes, and critical insights, allowing teams to quickly understand document contents without reading entire files.
