It's common for teams to have a treasure trove of internal documents that succinctly outline business-critical processes and answer many of your students' questions.

Sharing this incredible information with your GeckoAI bot is simple. You can easily share your files by hosting them on Google Drive and publishing them online. This quick guide covers the process for .docx, .xlsx, and .csv files.

Organize Your Documents

  • Gather all .txt, .docx, .xlsx, and .csv files you'd like your bot to learn about.

  • Make sure the files are up-to-date and contain relevant information.

Upload to Google Drive

  • Log into your Google Drive account.

  • Create a new folder for your AI bot documents (optional but recommended).

  • Upload your files to Google Drive or the created folder.

Publish to the Web

  • Open each Google Doc or Sheet.

  • Click File > Share > Publish to web

  • Choose "Entire Document" in the first dropdown.

  • Click "Publish" and copy the provided link.

  • For more information, check out this Google Support guide.

Provide Links to Your AI Bot

  • Compile all the published links and send them to your Account and/or Implementation Manager, who will add them to your bot's scraping library!

Happily, any changes you make to the contents of your published Google Docs in the future will automatically pull into the bot without needing to provide a new published link.

By following these steps, you're making your documents web-accessible, allowing your AI bot to read and learn from them effectively!
