AI assistant for Google Drive
Connect Google Drive so Joshu can organize client uploads, search documents by topic, and cite reference sheets in drafts.
Then $95 a month with no token fees, no resets, and no caps.
What you can ask Joshu in Google Drive
You: Which of these three decks did we actually present to Acme?
Joshu compares modification dates and slide contents, finds the delivered file, and stages it on your desk.
You: Pull the contractor totals from the Q1 budget sheet.
Joshu reads the tab directly and quotes the exact cell totals instead of making you search through folders.
You: Summarize the three vendor proposals in the logistics folder.
Joshu reads each PDF, extracts the cost tables, and leaves a side-by-side brief in your drafts.
Files you already keep in Drive become part of Joshu's working memory. Joshu can file new documents, search by meaning, and remember what lived where.
What Joshu does
Connect a Google account and point Joshu at shared drives or folders. It organizes uploads, retrieves files when you ask in chat or mail, and keeps memory of the document, not just the filename. Shared knowledge folders can sync from Drive instead of living only on Joshu's desktop.
What you do
Authorize Drive access and select folders Joshu may read and write. Keep sensitive drives disconnected. Use folder sharing when you want guests or teammates to see only one subtree.
Why it sticks
Drive is already your team's filing cabinet. Joshu opens it directly instead of making you download and re-upload attachments.
Permissions and limits
Joshu respects Google Drive sharing rules. It cannot access files outside the drives and folders you connect. Deletes and moves follow the permissions of the connected account.
What can Joshu do here?
Joshu reads Google Drive with the OAuth scopes you approve, drafts work on its desk, and waits for your sign-off before anything sends or posts.
Joshu vs Google Drive's built-in AI
Built-in assistants usually live inside one app tab. Joshu keeps email, calendar, files, and Google Drive in one persistent memory so follow-ups do not reset every session.
Frequently asked questions
Joshu connects to Google Drive through Google OAuth and reads the drives and folders you select. It files uploads, retrieves documents when you ask, and remembers what lived where. You work with an assistant who has a desk, a computer, and persistent memory, not a search bar that only matches exact filenames.
Yes. Every Joshu runs in its own isolated, sandboxed cloud computer. Files Joshu reads and writes stay in that private sandbox. Joshu only accesses drives and folders you authorize, and your data is never used to train public AI models.
Joshu files and organizes within folders you grant write access to. Destructive actions like deletes follow the permissions of the connected account and any approval rules you set. You can keep sensitive drives read-only or disconnected entirely.
Only the shared drives and folders you connect. Joshu respects Google Drive sharing rules and cannot access files outside that scope. Guest-safe subtrees work the same way: share one folder when someone should see a slice, not the whole desk.
Drive search matches filenames and indexed text inside one account. Joshu has memory across mail, calendar, Slack, and past conversations. It finds files by meaning, cites the document in follow-up mail, and remembers client context weeks later.
Joshu is $95 a month after a 14-day free trial. That includes your sandboxed cloud computer, a dedicated US phone number, an @joshu.me email address, persistent memory across your tools, and all tool connectors, including Google Drive. There are no surprise usage tiers or seat markups.
