AI-Powered RAG Document Processing & Chatbot with Google Drive, Supabase, OpenAI

Who is this for?

This workflow is perfect for:

• Businesses and teams who need an automated solution to organize, analyze, and retrieve insights from their internal documents.
• Researchers who want to quickly analyze and query large collections of research papers, reports, or datasets.
• Customer support teams looking to streamline access to product documentation and support resources.
• Legal and compliance professionals needing to reference and query legal documents with confidence.
• AI enthusiasts and developers wanting to implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems without starting from scratch.

What problem is this workflow solving?

Manually organizing, processing, and searching through documents can be time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. This workflow solves that by:

• Automating document processing from Google Drive, supporting multiple formats like PDFs, CSVs, and Google Docs.
• Extracting, chunking, and enhancing document text, preserving context and improving AI comprehension.
• Storing vector embeddings in a secure, scalable Supabase vector database, enabling semantic search and retrieval.
• Providing an interactive AI chat interface that allows users to ask natural language questions and get precise, document-based answers.

This means teams can quickly access relevant insights from their document repositories—boosting productivity and ensuring accurate information retrieval.

Key Features

• 🚀 End-to-End Document Processing: From Google Drive upload detection to vector embedding and storage.
• 🔍 Semantic Search & Retrieval: Users can ask complex, natural-language questions and receive contextually relevant answers.
• 🤖 AI-Powered Summaries & Metadata: Automatically generates document titles and summaries using Google Gemini AI.
• 📝 Smart Chunking & Contextual Enhancement: Breaks documents into smart chunks with overlap, preserving context and table integrity.
• 🔐 Secure & Scalable Vector Database: Stores and retrieves embeddings in a Supabase vector store for fast, reliable searches.
• 💬 Conversational AI Interface: Uses OpenAI to power natural, accurate, and cost-effective AI chat interactions.

How does this workflow work?
