1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start building your AI agent for auto-summarizing Google Drive thesis papers, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open your web browser and type in Pabbly.com/connect. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect landing page.

On this page, you can either sign in if you already have an account or click on the ‘Sign up for free’ option to create a new account. New users get 100 free tasks monthly, which is perfect for testing your automation workflow.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will then be prompted to name your workflow. Name it ‘How to Build an AI Agent to Auto-Summarize Google Drive Thesis Papers’ and select a folder to save it in.

• Click on the plus icon to create a new folder if needed.
• Choose the folder where the workflow will be stored.

After creating the workflow, you will see two boxes labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger will be set to Google Drive, and the action will involve OpenAI and Google Docs to generate summaries automatically.

3. Setting Up Google Drive as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

For the trigger, select Google Drive and choose the event ‘New File in a Specific Folder’. Click on connect to set up the connection. If you don’t have an existing connection, select ‘Add New Connection’ and sign in with your Google account.

Once connected, select the specific folder in Google Drive where your thesis papers will be uploaded. Ensure that you grant general access to the files to allow your AI agent to read them. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to test the connection.

• Upload a thesis paper to the selected folder to trigger the workflow.
• Make sure to share the file with anyone who has the link.

Once you receive a successful response, it indicates that your Google Drive is properly connected to Pabbly Connect and ready to trigger the next steps.

4. Generating Summary Using OpenAI in Pabbly Connect

Next, set up OpenAI as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event ‘Extract Content from PDF’. If you need to create a new connection, enter your OpenAI API token.

In the mapping section, use the web content link received from the Google Drive trigger as the PDF URL. Enter a prompt like ‘Generate a summary for the thesis’ to instruct OpenAI on what to summarize. You will also need to provide a JSON schema for structured output.

Map the web content link dynamically to keep the output relevant. Use the generated JSON schema for structured output.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the summary. The response will include the summarized text which can be appended to your Google Doc.

5. Adding the Summary to Google Docs via Pabbly Connect

Finally, set Google Docs as the last action in your workflow within Pabbly Connect. Choose the event ‘Create a Blank Document’ and connect your Google account. Name the document dynamically based on the uploaded thesis title.

After creating the document, add another action to ‘Append a Paragraph to Document’. Map the document ID from the previous step and insert the summary text generated by OpenAI. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the integration.

Upon successful execution, you will find the summarized thesis in your Google Docs, showcasing the power of Pabbly Connect in automating this process.
