Google Drive

Description

Drive Integration connects a mentorAI to Google Docs and Google Slides, enabling it to generate living documents and slide decks directly from chat.

Instructors enable the tools once, learners authenticate, and the mentor returns a shareable Google link with the requested content (e.g., a curriculum gap-analysis template) in the desired format.

Target Audience

Instructor

Features

One-Click Tool Toggles

Enable Google Docs and/or Google Slides in the mentor’s Tools tab.

OAuth Authentication

A secure Google sign-in popup allows learners to link their account for document creation.

In-Chat Document Creation

Ask for a doc or slide deck, and mentorAI generates and returns a Google Drive link within the chat.

Format Control via Prompting

Output format follows your System Prompt (e.g., Markdown or rich text).

Works for Templates & Content

Generate outlines, rubrics, gap-analysis templates, study guides, or slide summaries seamlessly.

How to Use (step by step)

Enable the Tools (Instructor)

Open the mentor’s Settings → Tools.
Toggle Google Docs and/or Google Slides On.

Authenticate (First Use per User)

In chat, click Google Docs (or Google Slides).
Complete the Google sign-in popup to authorize creation in your Drive.

Request the Asset

In chat, describe what you need. Example:

“Suggest a template for documenting curriculum gap identifications in a course.”

Then ask:

“Create this as a Google Doc and share the link.”

Receive the Link

mentorAI generates the file and returns a Google Docs/Slides URL in chat.
Click to open and continue editing in Google Workspace.

Control Formatting (Optional)

In Prompts → System Prompt, specify output format preferences. Examples:

“Use rich text headings and tables in the Google Doc.”
“Produce Markdown structure, then render to Google Docs.”

Iterate

Request revisions (add sections, tables, slides).
Re-run to update or create new versions as needed.

💡 Tip: Ensure your Google Drive sharing settings (domain-wide vs. specific users) match your intended distribution.
