Transform your AI assistant with direct access to your files

ZotGPT just got smarter. Starting today, you can upload documents directly from OneDrive and Google Drive into your ZotGPT Chat conversations, making your AI assistant more precise and personalized than ever before. As always, your information remains confidential and private to you. 

What’s New

Instead of copying and pasting content or working around file access limitations, you can now seamlessly integrate your Microsoft and Google documents into ZotGPT conversations. This means your AI assistant can work directly with your research papers, lecture notes, project files, and more.

How It Works

Using the new integration is simple:

• Start a new ZotGPT Chat conversation
• Select “Upload Files”
• Select OneDrive or Google Drive
• Choose your file from the familiar interface
• Direct ZotGPT to use this knowledge in your conversation

Practical Applications

For Faculty and Staff:

• Summarize lengthy research papers and generate key insights
• Use your course materials as templates to create similar documents
• Analyze meeting notes and extract action items
• Compare multiple documents for research or administrative purposes

For Students:

• Get explanations of complex readings and academic papers
• Use successful assignments as examples for new projects
• Organize and synthesize research materials

Get Started Today

This feature is available now for all UCI faculty, staff, and students with ZotGPT access. The integration appears automatically in your chat interface—no additional setup required.
