CoreGPT reads the file you select in Google Drive and answers questions about it. It works with Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, PDFs and images.

​
Open CoreGPT in Drive

1

Install it once

Install GPT for Google Workspace™ from the Google Workspace Marketplace. See Install for Google Workspace.
2

Open the side panel

In Google Drive, click the CoreGPT icon in the panel on the right.
3

Select a file

Click any file. The panel updates on its own.
4

Allow access to that file

The first time you use a file, click Allow access to this file. Google asks you to approve each file, and only that file is shared, nothing else in your Drive.

​
Work with a file

Under AI actions for this file: Under Quick questions: Find dates and deadlines, Explain it simply and Find risks or issues. Or type your own request under Ask AI about this file, for example:
  • “Total the revenue column”
  • “Who is responsible for what?”
  • “What changed compared to last year?”
Click Save as new Doc to keep any result as a Google Doc in your Drive.

​
Several files at once (Premium)

Select several files together to Summarize these files, Compare them or Find conflicts between them. Each file needs its own Allow the first time.

​
Create a new Doc

With no file selected, describe what you need under Or create a new Doc with AI (for example “Meeting agenda for Monday”) and click Create Doc. It’s saved to your Drive and you can open it straight away.

Supported files

Plans

Drive uses credits: bigger files use more.
  • Free: free credits to try it.
  • Standard: a monthly allowance of credits.
  • Premium: a bigger allowance, the smartest AI models, much larger files, PDFs and images, and several files at once.
You can top up credits at any time, and Drive is included in the Google Workspace suite plan.

​
Troubleshooting

Check that you clicked Allow access to this file. Very large files may be too long; try a smaller file or Premium. Empty files and unsupported types (like videos) can’t be read.
Make sure the side panel on the right is showing and reload Drive. If it’s still missing, reinstall the add-on from the Marketplace.
