Summarize a Google Drive deck and email five strategic takeaways

When a new board deck lands in Drive, get a concise email summary without opening every slide — ideal for exec assistants, PMs, and investors scanning many documents.

Workflow outline

  • Drive search or read — locate the file by name, folder, or recent upload
  • Extract / analyze — pull text from slides or PDFs
  • Summarize — five strategic bullets (risks, metrics, decisions)
  • Gmail send — deliver to you or a distribution list

Example goal

When a new file appears in my Drive folder "Board decks", read it and email me five strategic takeaways with a one-line subject summary.

Attach a specific file

For a one-off run, attach the Drive file in Clara’s compose screen or paste the share link in your goal. For recurring folders, describe the folder name and Clara will search on each run.

Connect Google Drive

OAuth is required once. Clara only accesses files your account can already open — the same permissions you would use in the Drive app.

Summarize your next deck

Connect Drive + Gmail, describe the file or folder, and save the automation.
