AI RAG Chatbot with Google Drive & Qdrant

September 3, 2025

Aladuddin Aladin

This workflow builds a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot that integrates with Google Drive, Qdrant Vector Database, and Google Gemini AI. It allows you to upload documents from a Google Drive folder, process them into embeddings, and store them in Qdrant for fast retrieval. Users can then chat with their documents using an intelligent conversational interface powered by Gemini, with full chat history stored in Google Docs.

Ideal for teams and organizations that need a document-aware AI assistant capable of retrieving precise, context-rich answers from large document repositories.
