What it is
LG Assistant is a single web-chat interface that Alberto talks to. It does two things:
- 1Answers from your knowledge base. It draws from resources you compile into a dedicated knowledge base: documents, guides, and reference materials you curate over time.
- 2Scans everything live. It reaches into your Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Calendly, and the Life Gateway CRM to pull real-time information on demand.
It is built on the same concept as Memorae, but made private and tailored specifically for Life Gateway.
How it works: two lanes
One chat box, two ways to answer. Each question routes to the right lane automatically.
- Source
- An "LG Knowledge Base" folder in your Google Drive.
- Method
- Indexed via semantic vector search.
- Use
- Recall over the resources you compile. You drag documents into the Drive folder; the server automatically syncs and indexes them.
- Source
- Gmail, Calendar, Calendly, CRM.
- Method
- Real-time API calls per question.
- Use
- Always-fresh answers, like "what is on my calendar Thursday" or "any emails from that client."
The Google Drive question, answered
Architecture
LibreChat, the interface Alberto types into.
Qdrant vector database, fed by an rclone sync of the Drive folder.
n8n workflows calling Gmail, Calendar, Calendly, and CRM APIs in real time.
Private LLM via Ollama Pro. No external AI service sees your data.
Single Google account (yours), single-tenant, fully isolated stack.
Rollout plan
| Phase | What you get | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1, KB MVP | Drive folder indexed plus web chat answering from your compiled resources. | Proposed |
| Phase 2, Live Scan | Add real-time Gmail, Calendar, and Calendly search. | Proposed |
| Phase 3, Full | Add CRM plus call and meeting transcripts, and optionally a WhatsApp interface like Memorae. | Proposed |
Investment
The assistant runs on infrastructure we already operate, plus a flat-fee LLM subscription. That means the monthly running cost is effectively zero.
The cost is the build itself — a one-time $1,400. That covers the full build-out, including the testing and the several rounds of revision it takes to get the assistant answering the way Life Gateway needs.
After that, there is no per-seat charge and no monthly upkeep. Add as many people as you want at no extra cost.
How this compares to Memorae
Memorae is a great tool, but it bills per person, every year. There is no team plan — covering 9 people means 9 separate subscriptions. To get the Drive, Gmail, Calendar and CRM integrations Life Gateway needs, each person is on the top "Big Bang" tier.
| Memorae — Big Bang, 9 people | LG Assistant — this build | |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | ~$2,430–$4,860 | $1,400 one-time |
| Year 2 and beyond | ~$2,430–$4,860 every year | ~$0 |
| People covered | Per person, capped — 9 separate bills | Unlimited, no per-seat charge |
| Where your data lives | Their cloud | Your own server |
| Fit | Generic WhatsApp assistant | Tailored to Life Gateway and your CRM |
Memorae's promotional rate (the lower figure above) runs on a countdown timer and resets to the standard rate after launch — so the real long-term cost is the higher number, billed every single year.
Our build pays for itself inside the first year against Big Bang, and roughly 1.5–2 years against the mid tier. After that it is essentially free while Memorae keeps billing per person, forever.
What we need from you, Alberto
Four steps to get Phase 1 moving.
Make a folder in your Google Drive named "LG Knowledge Base" and drop in the documents you want the assistant to answer from.
Approve enabling the Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive APIs on your account. We will send the consent screen.
Generate your Calendly API token and send it over so we can wire up live booking search.
Tell us which Life Gateway CRM data you want included when we reach Phase 3.
