Connectors are a Pro feature requiring a Scira Pro subscription.
Connectors enable Scira to perform semantic search across your personal documents stored in cloud services. Instead of keyword matching, connectors use AI to understand the meaning of your queries and find relevant content even when exact words don’t match.

Supported platforms

Google Drive

Documents, spreadsheets, presentationsLimit: 3,000 documents

Notion

Pages and databasesLimit: 2,000 documents

OneDrive

Microsoft documents and filesNote: OneDrive integration is in development

How connectors work

When you connect a service to Scira:
  1. OAuth authentication - You authorize Scira to access your content
  2. Document indexing - Your documents are synced to Supermemory
  3. Semantic processing - Content is chunked and embedded for AI search
  4. Isolated storage - Your data is tagged with your unique user ID

Search process

When Scira searches your connectors:
The search:
  • Uses semantic similarity to find relevant documents
  • Re-ranks results for accuracy
  • Returns document chunks with relevance scores
  • Generates direct links to source documents

Connecting a service

Google Drive

  1. Navigate to your Scira Pro settings
  2. Click Connect Google Drive
  3. Authorize Scira to access your Drive files
  4. Wait for initial sync (may take a few minutes)

Notion

  1. Navigate to your Scira Pro settings
  2. Click Connect Notion
  3. Select the pages/databases to share with Scira
  4. Authorize the integration
  5. Wait for initial sync

OneDrive (coming soon)

OneDrive integration is currently in development and will be available soon.

Using connectors

Once connected, simply ask Scira questions about your documents:
Scira automatically determines when to search your connectors based on the context of your conversation.

Implementation details

Document metadata

Each synced document includes:

URL generation

Scira generates direct links to your documents:
  • Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/{documentId}/view
  • Notion: https://notion.so/{title-slug}-{documentId}
  • OneDrive: https://1drv.ms/b/s!{documentId}

Content filtering

Results are filtered to ensure quality:

Privacy and security

Your documents are synced to Supermemory’s secure infrastructure for indexing and search. Scira does not store your document content directly.

Data isolation

Each user’s documents are isolated using unique tags:
This ensures your documents are never accessible to other users.

What gets synced

  • Text content - Extracted and chunked for search
  • Metadata - Title, type, creation/update dates
  • Source links - References back to original documents

What doesn’t get synced

  • File attachments - Only text content is indexed
  • Images - Visual content is not processed
  • Private/restricted - Only documents you explicitly authorize

Managing connections

Manual sync

Trigger a manual sync to refresh your documents:

Disconnect a service

Remove a connected service and delete synced documents:

Supermemory integration

Connectors are powered by Supermemory, an AI memory infrastructure:
  • Semantic search - Understanding meaning, not just keywords
  • Automatic chunking - Intelligent document segmentation
  • Re-ranking - Results sorted by relevance
  • Incremental sync - Only new/changed documents are processed

API configuration

Your Supermemory API key must be set in your environment variables.

Troubleshooting

No results found

  • Check sync status - Ensure documents have been indexed
  • Verify permissions - Confirm Scira has access to the documents
  • Try broader queries - Use semantic queries rather than exact phrases

Sync issues

  • Document limits - You may have exceeded the provider’s limit
  • API errors - Check your Supermemory API key is valid
  • OAuth expiry - Reconnect if authorization has expired

Performance

  • Initial sync - First sync may take several minutes for large accounts
  • Search speed - Typically returns results in 1-3 seconds
  • Re-ranking - Improves accuracy but adds slight latency

Best practices

  1. Organize your content - Well-structured documents search better
  2. Use descriptive titles - Helps with semantic matching
  3. Regular syncs - Keep your index up to date
  4. Specific queries - More context leads to better results
  5. Monitor limits - Stay within document count restrictions
