Laylight + Google Drive

What Laylight reads

Documents, spreadsheets and slides in the folders you connect, along with titles, owners and revision history.

Access is read-only and scoped to what you connect. Laylight does not write to, modify or delete anything in Google Drive.

What it adds to your context

Documents, their authors, and the relationship between versions. Plans, specifications, memos and models become citable sources rather than files someone has to remember the name of.

How it works

You authorise Drive through Google OAuth and scope Laylight to specific folders. Revision history is the important part: because Laylight tracks when a document last changed and which documents supersede which, it can tell you the current answer rather than the first one it found. A number in a spreadsheet can be cited back to the cell and the version it came from.

Because Laylight resolves entities across every connected system, a Google Drive answer is not limited to Google Drive. The same customer, project or person referred to here is understood to be the same one referred to in the other systems you connect, so an answer drawn from Google Drive can be cross-checked against the document, ticket or thread elsewhere that describes the same thing.

What you will be able to ask

• Which version of this document is current?
• What does the latest plan say, and who wrote it?
• Where is the source for this number?
• Has this document been updated since the decision that changed it?

Each answer names the Google Drive record it came from, with its timestamp, so you can open the source and check it rather than taking the summary on trust.

How the connection is authorised

You connect Google Drive through its own OAuth flow and choose the scope Laylight may index. Laylight never receives your Google Drive password, stores its access token encrypted, and loses access the moment you revoke the connection. See Security for the full detail.

Availability

Laylight is pre-launch and connectors are rolling out to waitlist customers. Join the waitlist to get access to the Google Drive integration, or see all integrations.
