How to set up - Add your Google Drive Trigger to monitor a folder. - Connect Gemini AI to handle transcription + summarization. - Configure the Google Docs Tool to create/update your summary documents. - (Optional) Use the Code Node + Docs API to apply bullet/checkmark formatting. Requirements - Google Drive OAuth2 – for monitoring & downloading files - Google Docs OAuth2 – for creating and updating documents - Google Gemini API – for transcription + AI-powered summarization How to customize the workflow - Change the Google Drive folder to monitor a different workspace. - Edit the system prompt in the Summarizer to tweak summary style (e.g., more detail, decisions only, etc.). - Modify the Code Node formatting rules (bullets, checkmarks, bold text). - Add integrations (e.g., Slack, Email, Notion) to send summaries beyond Google Docs.
