Google Drive

Teach your AI agent from files you keep in Google Drive, without downloading and uploading them again. When your team updates a document in Drive, you can sync it so the agent learns the new version. Use it if your price lists, policies or product guides already live in Drive.

Before you start

• A Google account with the files in its Drive
• An AI agent in Botvee — Each file is picked for one agent
• Room in your storage — Drive files count toward your plan’s storage

How to set it up

1. 1

   Open the window

   Go to Dashboard → Integrations → Google Drive and click “Connect”

2. 2

   Choose who it is for

   Click “Connect” next to one AI agent, or next to “The whole workspace”

3. 3

   Click “Continue with Google”

   Google asks which account. Approve access and you return to Botvee

4. 4

   Open the sources

   Go to Dashboard → Integrations → Manage, then “Sources” on the Google Drive card

5. 5

   Pick the AI agent and click “Choose from Google Drive”

   Google’s own window opens. Select the files the agent should learn from

6. 6

   Wait for the import

   Botvee shows “Importing & indexing...” and then lists each file

What you can do with it

• Import files — Into your agent’s knowledge, like an upload
• “Sync now” — Brings in the latest version of a file after someone edits it
• “Remove” — Stops a file being used and removes it from the knowledge base

Good to know

• You must pick files in Google’s picker. A pasted link will not work, because Botvee only gets access to what you pick
• Files count toward your plan’s storage
• A file picked for one agent is only used by that agent. Pick it again for another agent if both need it
• Training uses credits like any other content

Troubleshooting

• “No agent has Google Drive connected yet” — Connect one from the Google Drive card first
• The agent does not know what is in a file — Click “Sync now”, then check Dashboard → Task Monitoring
• A scanned PDF teaches nothing — It has no text the AI can read. Use a typed version
• The import fails — Check your storage in Dashboard → Billing → Usage
