Google Drive
Customers ask for contracts, invoices, and product specs. Your AI agent searches Google Drive, finds the right file, and shares it securely, all within the chat. No more hunting through folders or waiting for someone to forward an attachment. File retrieval at the speed of conversation.




Your AI agent navigates Google Drive like an expert assistant, finding files, setting permissions, and sharing documents based on what customers and team members need.
Google Drive
From client portals to internal support, discover how AI agents connected to Google Drive eliminate the manual file hunting that slows teams down.
A client messages asking for a copy of their Q3 report. Your AI Agent searches Google Drive by the client's name and document type, locates the report in their dedicated folder, verifies the sharing permission, and delivers a direct link in the conversation. The client gets their document in under 30 seconds. Your account team never gets interrupted for a file request again.
A new customer needs to submit identification and signed agreements. Your AI Agent receives the uploaded files through the chat, creates a new folder in Google Drive named after the customer, organizes documents by type, and notifies the onboarding team with a link to the completed folder. Paperwork that used to take days of email chains now completes in a single conversation.
A healthcare provider requests their compliance audit documents. Your AI Agent searches Google Drive, finds the files, sets reader-only permissions for the requester's email, adds an expiration date to the shared link, and delivers it through the encrypted chat channel. Access controls stay tight. Audit trails stay clean. And the requester gets what they need without a support ticket.

FAQs
The agent uses Google Drive's search API with parameters like file name, MIME type, owner email, content keywords, and date ranges. It supports advanced query operators, so a request like 'find the Smith Corp contract from last month' translates into a targeted search returning precise results.
Yes. The agent uses Google Drive's permissions API to grant viewer, commenter, or editor roles to specific email addresses. It can set link-sharing preferences, apply domain restrictions, and even set access expiration dates. Every permission change follows your organization's Drive policies.
Tars requests the drive.file OAuth scope, which limits access to files the agent creates or files the user explicitly opens through the integration. It does not grant broad access to your entire Drive. You authorize through one-click OAuth and revoke anytime from Google Account settings.
No. Tars accesses files in real time through the Google Drive API. File metadata, content, and sharing details are fetched live during conversations. We do not download, cache, or store your Drive files on our servers. Everything stays in your Google Drive.
Yes. The agent recognizes Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and other Workspace file types. When downloading, it exports them to standard formats like PDF, DOCX, or CSV. When searching, it can filter by specific MIME types to find only the file format you need.
You configure the folder destination in the agent's workflow. The agent can create new folders, use existing ones, or dynamically select folders based on customer data like account name or case number. Files are placed with proper names and metadata from the start.
The agent respects your Google Drive sharing policies. If the authenticated Drive account does not have access to a file, the search will not return it. You can also configure the agent with access rules that limit which folders or file types it can share with external users.
Yes. The agent supports both personal My Drive and shared drives (formerly Team Drives). It can list shared drives, search within them, and manage files with the same search and permission capabilities available for personal Drive files.
