OpenAI Assistant Setup with Google Drive Files

This n8n workflow shows how to build a custom OpenAI Assistant fed directly with files from Google Drive, letting it answer questions grounded in your own documents through a simple chat interface. It walks through uploading a file to OpenAI, attaching it to the assistant, and updating the assistant's knowledge whenever new information is added. Perfect for teams who want a private, document-aware chatbot without building a custom vector database from scratch, it pairs Google Drive as the source of truth with OpenAI's assistant API for retrieval and reasoning. The result is a low-maintenance AI assistant that stays current with your latest files.
