Google Drive AI agent for Slack

Glad is an AI agent for Slack that works in Google Drive. Ask @Glad a question and it finds the file, reads it and answers in the thread with the page and the clause, through your own Google login.

Someone asks what the Quayside contract says about notice. Someone else posts a link to the Contracts folder. Nobody opens the PDF.

@Glad Quayside wants to leave their service contract early. What's our notice period?
GladAPP
"Quayside Hotels service agreement 2025.pdf" in Contracts says 60 days' written notice (section 9.2). Leaving early costs the remaining months of the service fee. Signed 14 March 2025.

Google Drive with your other tools

Priced from the Sheet, saved on the deal

"@Glad price Mill Street's order from the wholesale price list and put the total on their HubSpot deal." Glad reads the price list in Google Sheets, adds up 12 grinders and 40 kg of beans, and shows the new deal amount on a card for your yes. Update HubSpot deals from Slack covers the deal side.

The contract and the emails, before the renewal call

"@Glad prep me for the Quayside renewal: what the contract says and what they emailed last." Glad reads the agreement in Drive and the latest thread in Gmail, and posts the end date, the notice terms and the open questions in one reply. It only reads. See Prepare for meetings in Slack.

Google Drive questions

Something else? Write to info@iamglad.ai.

Does Glad integrate with Google Drive?

Yes. Glad, the AI agent for Slack, connects to your own Google Drive and finds, reads, creates, moves and shares files, and reads and updates Google Sheets, from any Slack thread.

How is Glad different from Google Drive for Slack?

Google's Drive app for Slack lets you create or share a file from Slack and tells you when someone comments. Glad opens the file for you and answers from it, or carries a number from a Sheet into HubSpot in the same request.

Can Glad read a PDF or a Google Doc in Drive?

Yes. Glad reads Google Docs, Sheets, PDFs, text files and images in your Drive, and answers with the part that matters and the file name, so anyone can check it.

Can Glad add rows to a Google Sheet?

Yes. Tell it what to add, for example the orders from a thread, and Glad shows the new rows on a card. It writes them after your yes, because the whole team uses the Sheet.

Does Glad ask before it changes Google Drive?

Yes, before it shares a file, writes to a Sheet or moves anything. Finding and reading files runs without asking.

Whose Google Drive does Glad use?

Yours. Each person connects their own Google account, so Glad sees only the files that person can open. Sharing one connection with the team needs an admin's approval.

Can Glad find a file when I don't know its name?

Yes. Describe it ("the Harbourside proposal from September"), and Glad searches by name, folder and date, then tells you which file it found before it answers from it.

What does the Google Drive integration cost?

It comes with every plan. Reading a contract and answering is one task. Starter is $49 a month for 250 tasks across the workspace, and the first 50 are free.
