01 / SETUP

Get ready

  1. In Gemini Apps, connect the Google Workspace app if your account and administrator allow it.
  2. Write down the project name, likely document title, and date range; use the same account that can access those files.
02 / PROMPT

Give it this

Using my connected Google Drive, find documents about [project] from [date range]. Identify decisions about [topic], who is named as owner, and any unresolved questions. For each item, link the source document and quote only the short passage needed to locate it. Distinguish explicit decisions from your inference. If you cannot access a relevant file or find conflicting versions, say so.

03 / WORKFLOW

Make it useful

  1. Open each linked document and check the decision in its surrounding context.
  2. Compare dates and versions so an older draft does not override a newer decision.
  3. Share only the checked decision list with people who have access to the source files.

One thing to check. Connected Workspace access depends on account and administrator settings. Gemini can miss newer material or use an older document, so verify the source links.
