What you can doGoogle Drive and SharePoint

Put your Google Drive or SharePoint to work

If your team’s knowledge lives in Google Drive or SharePoint, an assistant can use it: find the right document, read it, answer questions from it, and write a summary back into a folder. “What’s in the Q3 folder?” or “draft this week’s summary from these documents” then happens without anyone opening Drive.

almyty has no ready-made Google or Microsoft connector. You connect their APIs the same way you connect any other system, which takes a technical person to set up once.

What you need

  • Access to Google’s Drive API or Microsoft Graph (the API behind SharePoint and OneDrive), with an app registered on their side.
  • Someone technical for the one-time setup below.

How to build it

  1. Connect the documents. Open APIs and click Connect an API. Either pick OpenAPI / Swagger and give the API description (Microsoft publishes one for Graph), and its operations (list files, read a file, update a file) become tools. Or pick SDK / npm, add Google’s or Microsoft’s official package (googleapis, @microsoft/microsoft-graph-client), then make a tool for each method you need under Tools, Create tool, SDK / npm package.
  2. Sign in once. These services use OAuth (a “Sign in with Google/Microsoft” style approval instead of a password). Save the app’s details in Credentials with Add credential. On the Google or Microsoft side, allow only the folders or sites the assistant should see.
  3. Create the assistant. Open Agents, click Create agent, switch to Autonomous, and write the job in Instructions: “search the shared drive, read the relevant documents, and answer, summarize or draft”. Under Tools and APIs, pick the Drive or Graph tools. Save.
  4. Decide how it’s used. People can ask it on Slack (add a Slack channel on its Channels tab), or it can run on its own: on the agent’s Overview tab, turn on Schedule, for example once a day for a digest of new documents.
  5. Write back. With an “update file” or “create file” tool, it can save its summary where the team already looks.

Ideas

  • Keep it to one shared drive or one SharePoint site.
  • For a handful of short reference answers, you can skip the connection: add them on Memory with Add memory, as facts or as one Document, and set the assistant’s memory to Shared by all agents. The assistant looks up the ones that relate to each question.
