## Arch Studio + ChatGPT or Claude + Google Sheets, Docs and Drive

Connect Arch Studio and provide authorized access to the selected Docs, Drive files and Sheet, or supply exports. Access to Drive does not establish access to every file or support for every file format. Reading a sheet does not establish write access. Use a supported editing connection only when available; otherwise prepare a workbook or CSV for you to import into Google Sheets.

<a id="capability-example"></a>

## Try a first task.

An example prompt to adapt with your own brief and inputs.

Use Arch Studio to read this brief in Google Docs and the selected product documents in Drive, research the candidates and prepare a comparison for this Google Sheet. If those sources cannot be read, ask for authorized exports. Keep the source brief and documents unchanged. Keep source links, units and unknown values explicit. Show me the proposed columns and changes before writing. Preserve existing formulas and unrelated cells. If you cannot edit the sheet, give me a workbook or CSV to import. Check the saved or exported result and state which one you verified.

## How the work comes together.

Illustrative sequence to adapt; each step requires its inputs, host capabilities and review.

Read the selected Docs and Drive files — Read the authorized brief and product sources through the available connection, or use supplied exports. Confirm file versions and retain links to each source.

Research candidates with Arch Studio — Check the brief and gather product facts with their sources. Leave missing or conflicting values unresolved.

Prepare and review the comparison — ChatGPT or Claude proposes columns and changes. After review, it updates the sheet through an available editing connection or produces a file for manual import.

Verify the actual result — Reopen the saved sheet or exported file, check product IDs and units, and confirm existing formulas and unrelated cells were preserved. Report what was actually checked.
