AI Knowledge Agent for Google Workspace
Staff get cited answers from the Drive folders and Docs you approve, without hunting through shared drives.
Shared drives grow until nobody can find the current version of anything. This agent answers staff questions from the Drive folders and Docs you approve, citing the file behind each answer. Gmail and Calendar are only read if your admin approves those scopes. It indexes up to 2,000 documents with up to three permission groups, so each team sees the right answers.
- Cited answers from the Drive folders and Docs you approve
- Gmail and Calendar read only if your admin approves
- Different teams see answers from the files they may access

What it is
AI Knowledge Agent for Google Workspace answers staff questions from your Drive files and Docs, and from Gmail or Calendar data only where an admin approves those scopes, citing the file behind each answer. It indexes up to 2,000 documents with up to 3 permission groups.
Why businesses buy it
Google Workspace makes it easy to create documents and hard to find the right one later. Staff waste time hunting through shared drives or asking colleagues, and old versions get used by mistake. This agent answers from the approved folders with a citation, so people find the current file and trust the answer. The written scope sets the folders, scopes, permission groups and benchmark before you order, giving your admin full control of access.
Problems this solves
Drive holds years of files and nobody knows which one is current
The agent answers staff questions from your Drive files and Docs and cites the file behind each answer. People open the exact document instead of guessing between similar file names.
Useful answers sit in email threads and calendar notes
Where an admin approves those scopes, the agent can also draw on Gmail or Calendar data. Without that approval, it stays with Drive and Docs only.
Shared drives contain files not everyone should read
Up to three permission groups limit what each person can see, across up to two thousand documents. Access uses keys you control, and testing runs on sandbox or test records.

How it works
- Your Google Workspace admin grants OAuth consent for the agreed scopes on a 30-minute call. Nothing outside those scopes is read.
- The Drive folders and Docs you name, plus Gmail or Calendar data only if approved, are indexed up to 2,000 documents.
- Files are placed into up to 3 permission groups that reflect who should see them.
- Someone asks in the web app, Slack or Teams and gets an answer with a link to the Doc or Drive file it came from.
- A monthly refresh picks up edited Docs and new files in the agreed folders.
- 60 benchmark questions are scored before launch, with an accuracy report you can keep.

Expected benefits and how to measure them
- Can save time spent digging through Drive
- Helps staff work from the right version of a file
- Keeps Google access within scopes your admin chose
- Time to find a file
- Time a sample of real lookups in Drive before launch. Repeat the same lookups with the agent.
- File requests to colleagues
- Count 'can you send me' requests in chat for two weeks before and after launch.
- Benchmark accuracy
- Re-run the sixty benchmark questions after a few months and compare with the launch report.
Before you start: List the shared drives in scope and time a sample of real file lookups. Note how often people ask colleagues for files.
These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.
Running costs
The build itself is a one-time payment, shown before you buy. Running costs sit at roughly $50 to $300 a month in your own accounts, covering AI model usage, the vector database and hosting, and depend on document volume and question volume.
Google Workspace licenses remain yours and unchanged. AI usage during build and testing is billed to your accounts.
Ask about running costsCustom requirements
Extra shared drives beyond 2,000 documents, a fourth permission group, a second interface or custom Google Workspace objects outside the mapping need a written Change Quote, sent of a note at checkout. Larger or bespoke projects go through the Custom AI request form instead.
Request a custom versionKeep it running
We recommend monthly maintenance for this edition. It covers monitoring, fixes and monthly hours for new folders, scope adjustments or permission group changes, and the change hours scale with the build. Maintenance starts after the included support period and can be cancelled any month.
$495/mo (5% of the build price a month, includes 4 change hours)
Optional. Starts after the post-launch support period. Cancel any month.
How maintenance worksHow this compares
| Do it yourself with a SaaS tool | Hire a custom agency | Upmark Labs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | An office-suite AI add-on is billed per user, monthly | A Google partner quotes a project | Ours is one fixed price, shown before you buy |
| What it reads | Decided by the vendor's defaults | Agreed in discovery | Ours reads only the scopes your admin approves |
| Citations | Varies by tool | Depends on the build | Ours links every answer to its Drive file or Doc |
| Delivery | Quick to enable, slow to trust | Weeks of scoping | Ours has a fixed delivery time shown before you buy, with faster options |
Questions about this product
Will the Google Workspace knowledge agent read our Gmail?
Only if you approve it. Gmail and Calendar data are available within approved scopes, and your admin decides at intake whether either is included at all. You can keep the build to Drive files and Docs alone. Whatever you approve is written into the documented mapping.
Which Google Drive folders does it index?
The shared drives or folders you name at intake, up to 2,000 documents, roughly 10,000 pages. Files outside those folders are not indexed, even if the OAuth scope could technically reach them. Adding a folder later fits within your maintenance change hours or a Change Quote, depending on its size.
Who grants Google Workspace access for this build?
A Google Workspace admin gives OAuth consent for the agreed scopes during a 30-minute setup call. We never ask for anyone's password. The consent sits in your own Google Workspace account, and the admin can review or revoke it from the admin console whenever they choose.
Can different teams see different Drive answers?
Yes. Files are grouped into up to 3 permission groups, and a person only gets answers drawn from files their group may see. One possible split is company-wide, managers and leadership, but the groups are yours to define during intake and are tested in the benchmark.
What are the running costs for the Google Workspace edition?
About $50 to $300 a month in your own accounts for AI model usage, the vector database and hosting. A large Drive index and frequent questions sit toward the top of that range. Your Google Workspace licenses are not changed by this build, and nothing is billed through us.
How long until the Google Workspace knowledge agent is live?
The standard, Express and Rush delivery times are shown in the price panel before you order, and the clock starts after a verified intake. Getting OAuth consent and the folder list in early keeps the date on track, because indexing starts from those two items.
Turn shared drives into answers people can check.
Order AI Knowledge Agent for Google Workspace and staff get cited answers from your Drive files and Docs, inside the scopes your admin approves.
