Askit

Askit, ask anything.

Inspiration

we all were personally exhausted looking for files in our messy google drives and wanted to automate this process as much as we could.

that's when we came up with Askit, your rag-based application that finds exactly what you are looking for aka we do a semantic search on your gdrive.

what that means practically is, you can now search for:

Give me the company policies on refund and medical claims (without having to find the handbook pdf and dig it for details.)

What it does

Askit revolutionizes how you interact with your Google Drive documents through the power of semantic search. Instead of struggling with exact keyword matches or digging through folders, simply ask questions in natural language and get precise answers with source references.

How we built it

We integrated directly with the Google Drive API to fetch and index user documents securely, using a robust OAuth 2.0 flow to ensure privacy and permission management.

Key architectural features include:

Asynchronous document ingestion to handle large and dynamic document collections without bottlenecks
Optimized vector-based indexing for lightning-fast semantic search
Secure Google authentication via OAuth, ensuring user data stays protected
Real-time response pipeline, minimizing latency from question to answer
