Open Viro

    Google Drive

    Connect Google Drive and Viro can read and answer questions about the files you choose, and write a new Google Doc for you after you confirm. Viro only ever sees the files you pick.

    What can Viro do with Google Drive?

    • Read Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, and text files you've picked
    • Summarize, compare, and answer questions about them
    • Read spreadsheets, up to 5 tabs and 5,000 cells
    • Write a new Google Doc in your Drive

    Viro can't:

    • See, browse, or search files you haven't picked
    • Edit, rename, move, or delete files already in your Drive
    • Read images, or Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files stored in Drive

    How do I connect Google Drive?

    1. Open Customize > Connectors

      Select Customize in the sidebar, then Connectors.
    2. Open Google Drive and select Connect to Viro

      Sign in with Google and allow access. You can also start from + > Google Drive in a chat.
    3. Check that it's connected

      Back in Viro, Google Drive is listed under Yours.

    What can I ask?

    Once it's connected, just ask in any chat. For example:

    • "Summarize the project plan I just picked."
    • "What are the totals in this budget sheet?"
    • "Compare these two proposals."

    How do I choose files?

    In a chat, select + > Google Drive, pick your files in Google's file picker, and ask your question. On iPhone and Android, the picker opens in your browser.

    Can Viro save a document to Google Drive?

    Yes. Ask Viro to save what it wrote, for example "save this as a doc in Google Drive." It shows a card with the title and the document, and nothing is saved until you select Create doc. Select Edit first to change the title or the text. The new Google Doc is saved in My Drive. Viro never changes or replaces a file that's already there: if the name is taken, the new one gets a number.

    How do I use a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file from Drive?

    In Google Drive, open the file and choose File > Save as Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, then pick that copy. Or attach the file to the chat directly with + > Add photos & files.

    Are there file limits?

    PDFs can be up to 10 MB. For very long documents, Viro reads roughly the first 60,000 characters. A document Viro writes can be up to 50,000 characters.

    How do I disconnect Google Drive?

    In Customize > Connectors, open Google Drive and select Disconnect. This deletes the connection Viro stored. Your past chats aren't deleted. To remove Viro's access completely, also remove it at myaccount.google.com/connections.

    Is my Google Drive data private?

    Viro reads your Google Drive data only to answer what you ask. It's never used to train AI models, and Viro never sells your data.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can Viro see my whole Google Drive?

    No. Viro can only open the files you pick with Google's file picker.

    Can Viro save a document to Google Drive?

    Yes. Ask Viro to save what it wrote as a doc. It shows a card first, and the Google Doc is created when you select Create doc.
