About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow automates the intelligent summarization of your Google Drive documents. It's designed to streamline operations by automatically identifying the most recently added document in a specified Google Drive folder. Once identified, the workflow retrieves the document's content and passes it to an advanced AI model for concise summarization. The generated summary, along with crucial metadata like the document's title and author, is then neatly organized and stored in a Google Sheet. This ensures that valuable information from your documents is readily accessible, searchable, and actionable, saving you significant time and effort in manual data processing.
