Information trapped in your OneDrive files
Your teams waste massive amounts of time scrolling through hundreds of PDF, Word, or Excel files to find a single piece of information. Between outdated versions and tedious manual searching, operational efficiency suffers.
Main negative impacts:
Time wasted on document search
Employees spend up to 20% of their time searching for information scattered across unstructured documents.
Inconsistent or outdated answers
Without a centralized tool, teams use different file versions, leading to communication errors.
Overburdened subject matter experts
Experts are constantly interrupted for simple questions whose answers already exist in OneDrive files.
Swiftask indexes your OneDrive folders and turns your documents into a living knowledge base. Your AI agent answers questions by citing its sources, instantly.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Without Swiftask
An employee needs to answer a client regarding a contract clause. They open OneDrive, search the folder, open three potential files, read through them, and extract the info. Time lost: 15 minutes.
With Swiftask + OneDrive
The employee asks the Swiftask AI agent directly. The agent scans the relevant OneDrive documents and provides the exact answer in seconds, with a direct link to the source file.
Set up your document-based replies in 4 steps
1
STEP 1 : Connect your OneDrive workspace
Authorize Swiftask to access your specific folders. The connection is secure and respects your existing permissions.
2
STEP 2 : Select source documents
Define which folders or files the agent should index. You maintain full control over accessible data.
3
STEP 3 : Define your agent's role
Provide instructions to your agent on how to answer (tone, format, language, specific context).
4
STEP 4 : Query and automate
Your agent is ready. Integrate it into your workflows or use it directly via the Swiftask interface.
Advanced document processing capabilities
The agent analyzes text, tables, and complex structures in your documents. It understands semantics to provide contextual answers.
- Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in onedrive based on event context.
- Automated actions: Multi-document search. Specific data extraction. Summary of long reports. Source citations for verification. Automatic updates when files are modified.
- Native governance: Security is paramount: the agent can only access files you have explicitly authorized.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-onedrive@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
Benefits for your productivity
Instant information access
No more manual opening of dozens of files.
Increased reliability
Answers are based exclusively on your documents, reducing hallucination risks.
Reduced cognitive load
Your teams focus on analysis rather than searching.
Simplified compliance
The agent respects your document management policies.
Scalability
Add new documents, and the agent integrates them immediately.
Security and privacy
Swiftask applies enterprise-grade security standards for your onedrive automations.
- Granular access: You control which folders are indexed by the AI.
- Secure authentication: Uses Microsoft's standard OAuth protocols.
- Protected data: Your documents are not used to train public models.
