Workflow Steps

Workflow Steps


1. Monitor Google Drive for New Files: The workflow begins by monitoring a specific Google Drive folder for newly created files.
2. Download File from Google Drive: Upon detecting a new file, it downloads the file from Google Drive.
3. Extract PDF Content: The downloaded PDF file's content is extracted for further processing.
4. Clean and Normalize PDF Text: The extracted text is cleaned and normalized to remove unnecessary characters and formatting.
5. Insert Document into Pinecone Vector Store: The cleaned document text is then inserted into a Pinecone vector store for efficient search and retrieval.
6. Generate Document Embeddings: Document embeddings are generated using Google Gemini to facilitate semantic search capabilities.
7. Chat Message Trigger: Users can trigger the workflow manually through a chat interface.
8. Retrieve Relevant Documents from Pinecone: Based on user queries, relevant documents are retrieved from the Pinecone vector store.
9. Generate Chat Prompt with Context: A prompt is generated that combines user queries with context from the retrieved documents.
10. OpenRouter Chat Model Interface: The final prompt is sent to the OpenRouter Chat Model for generating responses, leveraging AI capabilities.
