Auto-index docs from Drive to vector database

# Auto-index files from Google Drive to Pinecone with chat-based AI retrieval

This workflow automates document indexing and enables instant AI-powered answers via chat. It continuously syncs new files from Google Drive into a Pinecone vector database and allows users to query the knowledge base naturally.

## Who it´s for
- Knowledge management specialists automating document indexing
- Support teams using knowledge bases for faster responses
- Developers building RAG systems without manual data import
- Project managers centralizing documentation in a vector database

## What the automation does
- Monitors a designated Google Drive folder for new file uploads
- Downloads files, splits text into chunks, and generates embeddings via OpenAI
- Stores vector embeddings in Pinecone for semantic search
- Triggers an AI agent (LangChain-based) on receiving a chat message
- Retrieves relevant document snippets and generates accurate answers
- Keeps the knowledge base up-to-date without manual intervention

## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow with RAG agent logic
- Trigger logic: file creation in Google Drive and incoming chat messages
- Integrations with Google Drive, Pinecone, and OpenAI
- Basic textual guide for deployment and adaptation

## Requirements for setup
- n8n instance with external API access
- Google Drive account with read permissions to target folder
- Pinecone account for vector storage
- OpenAI API key for embedding generation and response synthesis

## Benefits and outcomes
- Drastically faster access to information across documentation
- Reduced support team workload through autonomous answering
- Continuous knowledge base updates as new files are added
- Natural language access via simple chat interface
- Minimized response errors — answers are grounded in actual documents
- Time savings on manual indexing and searching
