Hi All,  
How to collect all documents in a folder then having Chat or gemini synthesize and summarize data  
This is my 3rd day on Make but I do realize the potential. My ultimate goal is to Have a a group of documents that are in the same folder downloaded then uploaded and synthesized and summarized by chatgpt of gemini and put onto a document in the same folder. Is there anyone out there who can speed up my (clumsy) process? Thank for all support.

Welcome to the Make community!

Yes, that is possible. You’ll probably need a minimum of eight modules:

This is just an example. Your final solution may or may not look like this depending on your requirements.

I would suggest completing the **Make Academy** before jumping into building a complete scenario. If you need **specific assistance** when you are **building a scenario** it’s easier to help you then. Otherwise, you can also **hire a professional** by posting a request in the #Hire a Pro category.

Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —
