Chat with Drive Docs

Chat with Drive Docs

Connect your Google Drive and ask any question about your PDF documents. The agent automatically lists available files, reads the one you ask about, and extracts the text before answering.

How it works

1. User query — type your question about a document.
2. listDriveFiles tool — the agent calls the Drive node to see all available files.
3. readDriveFile tool — the agent fetches the selected file as a base64-encoded binary.
4. pdf_base64_to_text skill — a Python skill decodes the base64 string and extracts text from every page using pypdf.
5. Answer — the agent analyzes the extracted text and replies.

Setup

1. Open the docAgent node and pick an LLM credential.
2. Make sure both Drive nodes are connected to the same Google Drive account via your credentials.
3. Trigger the workflow from the Chat Portal or run it manually.

Notes

• Supports multi-page PDFs; pages are joined with double newlines.
• Scanned PDFs without a text layer will return an error — use an OCR step for those.
• The Drive getAll node is capped at 1 result by default; raise the limit if you want the agent to browse more files.
