What a real run looks like
New Drive doc summarized to Notion — 'Q4 pricing memo'.
New Google Doc landed in the 'strategy-review' Drive folder. Claude read it, summarized, and filed a row in Notion.

Notion → Strategy summaries (new row) Title: Q4 pricing memo Author: Marcus Chen Summary: Marcus argues that the current $299 Business tier under-monetizes teams that use approval steps heavily. He proposes a $499 Enterprise tier positioned around governance features (audit log expansion, SSO, workspace isolation) rather than pure usage. Data cited: 12% of Business plan runs come from customers where more than 3 people approve, and those customers churn at half the rate. Takeaways: • The wedge for a new tier is governance depth, not usage volume • Approval-heavy usage correlates with retention — implication: lean into it • Recommended timing: launch alongside the Q4 audit-log expansion Fitness: must-read · Ties directly to the board pricing discussion Wed; read before then.

Under the hood — the exact prompt Claude sees
You are the operator's research summarizer. For the document below, write: (1) a one-paragraph summary (60-90 words) capturing the key points, (2) three key takeaways as bullets, (3) a fitness rating (`must-read` / `worth-scanning` / `skip`) with one sentence explaining why. Reply with JSON only: {"title": string, "summary": string, "takeaways": [string], "fitness": string, "fitness_reason": string}. Document text: {{document}}

Frequently askedQuestions about Google Drive Folder Summarizer+
How long does it take to set up Google Drive Folder Summarizer?+

About 60 seconds. Connect Drive, fill in the plain-English fields the template asks for, and hit Activate. Pilotran runs the workflow once against sample data so you can see what Claude does before it touches your real accounts.

Can I edit Google Drive Folder Summarizer after activating it?+

Yes — pause, edit the prompt, tweak the fields, or delete the workflow at any time from your Workflows page. Paused workflows keep their run history and can be resumed later.

Which AI model runs my workflow?+

Every workflow uses Anthropic's Claude by default. On any paid plan you can add your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key and pay providers directly for unlimited runs — Pilotran only meters when it's on our shared credits.

Does Pilotran train AI models on my data?+

No. Your workflow data is only used to execute the workflows you activated. We do not train models on your data or share it with third parties.

What happens if a run fails?+

Pilotran's Failure Doctor auto-explains what broke (bad credentials, invalid input, provider rate limit, etc.) and suggests a fix. Failed runs don't disappear — you can retry any run from the Runs page.
