Hi all

I have a huge logs of emails with lots of attachments and references, is there a way to use Gmail with Make and Chatgpt? The purpose is to use chatgpt to reference the emails for an answer. Sort of a smart search engine. I dont necessary need it to draft emails

Or can i use Gemini to extract the relevant information, them pass it on to chatgpt?

Welcome to the Make community!

You’ll need to create and upload the files to custom assistant on this page: [https://platform.openai.com/assistants](https://platform.openai.com/assistants)

Then, you will be able to use the OpenAI (ChatGPT, Whisper, DALL-E) “Message an Assistant” module to reference your assistant:

> Send messages to a specified or newly created thread and execute it seamlessly. This action can send the arguments for your function calls to the specified URLs (POST HTTP method only). Works with Assistants v2.

For more information, see [https://www.make.com/en/integrations/openai-gpt-3](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/openai-gpt-3), and [https://www.make.com/en/help/app/openai-gpt-3](https://www.make.com/en/help/app/openai-gpt-3) in the help centre.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Not exactly what i had in mind. Basically i want to use ChatGPT as a tool to query my Gmails—analyzing emails and attachments. I could use Gemini to get the relevant info to chatgpt to analyze. Eg response to an query (based on previous emails, what is the best way to answer this email) or like ask chatgpt, find out how many times this email has been replied to.
