oper8r Docs

Google Drive Integration

Back to overview

Google Drive lets oper8r use selected documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and files as grounded source material. Drive is especially useful for security docs, implementation notes, approved decks, response boilerplate, RFP answer libraries, and operating documents.

What oper8r Uses

oper8r should use explicitly selected Drive files. It does not need broad access to every file in a workspace for most engagements.

Supported source types commonly include:

  • Google Docs.
  • Google Sheets.
  • PDFs.
  • CSV or spreadsheet files.
  • Text and markdown files.
  • Approved shared-drive materials.

Setup Path

  1. Confirm which folders or files are approved for the workflow.
  2. Connect Google Drive.
  3. Select files with the Drive picker or approved import path.
  4. Import a small sample first.
  5. Validate citations, titles, and source coverage.
  6. Add more files only after the workflow proves useful.

Example Source Plan

Workflow: Security questionnaire response

Drive sources:
- Current security overview.
- SOC 2 summary approved for sharing.
- Data processing and retention policy.
- Approved prior questionnaire answers.
- Product architecture notes approved for questionnaire responses.

How Drive Content Should Be Used

Drive content should be treated as evidence. oper8r workflows should cite the file or section used for an answer, identify missing evidence, and avoid presenting unsupported claims as fact.

Do not include raw OAuth tokens, file permissions payloads, or unrelated private document contents in prompts or generated answers.

Review Checklist

  • Files are approved for the workflow.
  • The team knows which files can be used in responses and which files should stay private.
  • Cited answers point back to source files.
  • Sensitive documents are not used in outputs unless the workflow allows it.
  • Deleted or outdated files are removed or superseded when needed.

Just want to talk it out?

We'd be happy to help you get started. The best starting point is usually a live RFP, security questionnaire, or knowledge base that already costs the team time to search, verify, and reuse.
