Challenges

A key challenge was integrating with the Google Drive API to securely access selected folders and keep file processing predictable.

Another major challenge was accurately processing different document formats (like PDFs and Word files) for both question-answering and compliance analysis.

Solutions

I integrated the Google Drive API for folder selection, file syncing, and secure access, then used mammoth and pdf-parse to parse document text.

I used Gemini for both the conversational knowledge base and compliance checks, producing answers, discrepancy notes, suggestions, and compliance scores.

I used Next.js and MongoDB for scalable product architecture, Google authentication for secure sign-in, and Inngest for reliable background processing.
