Google Drive Slack and Teams integration

A Google Drive assistant that works in Slack and Teams

Ask Toby for the document you cannot find, or for the short version of one you have not read. It searches Drive, answers in the thread and can draft something new from the files you already have.

2,000 free credits, no card needed, $25 a month after that.

Google Drive and Toby: common questions

Do I use Toby inside Google Drive?

No. You ask in a Slack or Teams channel and Toby replies in the thread with the file name, its folder and a link.

It finds and summarises documents, compares versions, drafts new ones from existing files and moves files into folders. It asks you to approve before it saves or moves anything.

Which files does Toby work with?

The files in the Google account you connect. Ask for one by name, by topic or by folder.

Can I disconnect Google Drive?

Yes. You can remove a channel, disconnect a tool, or take Toby out entirely from the dashboard whenever you want.

Nothing extra. Every plan includes every connection. You start with 2,000 free credits and no card, and Starter is $25 a month for the whole workspace.
